For decades, people have been drawn to the attractions of Rosarito Beach. Now more than one million people a year visit this magical seaside city 20 miles south of the border and 30 miles from San Diego. It's easy to see why.

Although only a short and scenic drive from the U.S., Rosarito Beach offers another world of experiences. It is a place where old and new Californias meet. Rich in Mexican culture and history, it also offers world-class hotels, resorts, restaurants and spas.

Visitors can parasail, ride a horse in a canyon, stroll through a museum, shop, tour art galleries or dance all night. They can eat original Puerto Nuevo-style lobster or tour Fox Studios, where Titanic, Master & Commander and other blockbusters were filmed.

Rosarito offers a wide range of accommodations that fit almost any budget, from luxurious spa/resorts to campgrounds. It is perfect for solo adventurers, couples on a romantic getaway or an affordable yet memorable family vacation. The sunsets are spectacular and the coastline stunning.

Some of the first visitors were attracted by surfing at such famous spots as K38. Now, along with parasailing and horseback riding, off-roading, go karts, ATVs and golf have been added to the mix of outdoor activities.

The appeal of Rosarito Beach is so strong that many who visit for a day stay forever.
