Playa Ensenada is a very cool beach. It stretches about 12 miles (15 km) from the Malecon…read more(boardwalk) near the port of Ensenada down to the Estero Beach Resort on the edge of Todos Santos Bay (which is as big as San Diego Bay). On a huge stretch along the middle there are no structures to be seen from the beach, which makes it very scenic and natural. Just a long stretch of sand with a gentle slope into the Pacific Ocean. The water stays shallow for a long ways into the ocean. You could probably still stand up about 50 yards out there, but the water was too cold in April to stay in that long to find out. We'll be back in Summer to try. People walk their dogs unleashed and the sun glistens off the water. Pure sand and no rocks, this beach is a delight. Wide open to the ocean, there can be strong rip currents. For a beach dude like me it rates a 4.5 stars, so I'll round it up to 5 stars.

Homes line the beach, there is a space for public parking and access. 50 pesos for a car all day. The beach is clean. The sand in some areas has gold sprinkles.

There's a guy offering rides on his motorized hang glider as well. When the weather is clear, you can see the sleeping man island in the distance. I'm ready to go back!!

Quite hairy at times getting there. And on a narrow two way road overlooking the ocean. Beautiful views though. After arriving at La Bufadora's parking lot, a huge shoutout to the driver for getting us there safely. And before stepping off the bus our guide Roxanne gave us a prep talk on what to expect. Of course its main destination is their famous blowhole. While the taco spot Lidia's Grill is also extremely popular. Riders were even given the option of bringing their tacos back to the bus to enjoy while riding back to Ensenada. But before reaching that very popular blowhole, we were given advice about first weaving our way through the huge marketplace and its very aggressive hawkers. "If not interested just ignore them." Think LA's Olvera Street on steroids if you've ever been there. And much larger, at least a quarter of a mile in length with everything imaginable being offered. But Roxanne boldly guided us through and finally we reached the blowhole and the beautiful scenery overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Then you're left to take in the views on your own. Just remember to head back to the bus to reboard by 2:10 for our return bus ride back to the port. And conditions were right for amazing bursts of waves from the blowhole. While some spent almost the entire time at Lidia's putting in and awaiting their taco orders. It's that popular.

You can't always get in the water due to the high bacteria levels, even though it does look clean and clear, it unfortunately is not. But even when it's deemed safe to swim, I would never get into the water here in Baja. There are some areas where there's a little bit of trash but it's way high up past where you walk. It kind of looks like there's some spots where people hang out at night with fire pits, and then leave their bit of trash behind. Along the way you'll see a high condo like building that was abandoned and unfinished where there's some big dirt heaps that's now used by dirt bikers as a ramp. And apparently you can actually drive right onto the sand, but we did see a big truck almost get stuck, so best to have a 4x4 if you're gonna drive your way to the water.

After the SD Writers Festival and then grabbing a slice and a beer on the main strip, I strolled over here to enjoy the last rays of the day. It is just gorgeous and breathtaking.

And let me tell you! 10 bucks per michelada and 40 bucks for plate with a small lobster and about 8 shrimps.

It's hard to swallow driving 3 plus hours just to pay pretty much same prices from a decent restaurant on this side of the border.

We drive right on in unless it is too packed with cars. Don't know till you go. It is a small fishing village where locals sell their daily catch right from the coolers and trading/bartering is in order. You definitely need to speak Spanish for this. I have actually brought large, fishing type coolers here to trade for freshly caught fish or even several dozen tamales. Yes tamales too! Also a handful of older restaurants boast ocean views with fresh seafood. We prefer to drive down to the beach in my Subaru and eat right there. We went to Sarita's and it was fantastic fresh seafood. The huge pig on the beach was unexpectedly cool! Eating all the good seafood scraps I'm sure. An unverified rumor from a construction guy that worked at my house mentioned he knows someone that says the sewage outfall drain pipe down in the area is not far offshore from here. I cannot confirm this and it won't deter me from coming back at all.
