For residents and tourists alike, Rosarito is probably the most user-friendly city in Baja. It offers great shopping, international cuisine, wonderful seafood, good night life and a casual attitude that lets you go anywhere and do anything in sandals and shorts. There are only two traffic lights in the entire city, and almost everything of interest is in walking distance. Visitors ride horses through the surf here, while real vaqueros (Mexican cowboys) ride them down the main street. A laptop next to the pool is an unlikely sight in Rosarito, and nobody walks down the street talking on a cell phone. But surfboards are everywhere, hand-holding seems to be contagious, and the sunsets over the Coronado Islands are postcard quality. During your visit you can stay at many fine hotels and resorts that Rosarito Beach has to offer. You can play volleyball under the stars at Rock and Roll Taco or Papas and Beer, Bargains of all kinds abound. Browse in a mercado on the main street for arts and crafts, leathers and silver, or roam among an interesting mix of roadside shops just south of town for pottery, Guadalajara-cement statues, fountains, curios, rugs and blankets. Take in a round of golf at Real Del Mar or Bajamar ocean-view courses or try your luck at SPORT-FISHING. Rosarito is home to the border area's best beach action, from ATV rentals to sea kayaks to catamarans, available, like the horses, for an hour or for the day. You can hike a mountain, surf fish or just put your feet up under a palm-fronded palapa and wind down with a frothy pina colada in hand.
