I am going on a cruise to Ensenada in August?

Question

Should I pay the extra $$$$ and go to Rosarito Beach while the ship is in port?

Answer 1

It is about an hour, and I wouldn't recommend it. There isn't much  to do in Rosarito that you cannot do in Ensenada,

and you wouldn't want to risk missing the ship.

Did someone tell you to go to Rosarito ?

Answer 2

I never been there by boat, but I've driven to both and they're not that far apart. Ensenada was really nice, but I had one h**l of a time in Rosarito. Spent all night on the beach, eating fish tacos, drinking Pacifico and shooting rockets over the ocean. Since, you're asking, I say go for it. you only live once.

Answer 3

If you do anything in Ensenda it should probably be the beach.  Do not go into town for shopping or walking around.  It is a dirty little town, with beggers everywhere.  We were sorry we got off the ship at this port, should have just stayed on board and enjoyed the pool.

Answer 4

I have not been to Rosarito Beach, but I have been on the Ensenada cruise a couple of times.  There isn't really a ton to do there on your own besides shopping and maybe grabbing a bite to eat, so any shore excursion is probably a good idea.
