Ensenada is a Fun Place to Visit - Great Hotels, Shopping, and Food - Exciting Night Life
Seems like most people who visit Ensenada these days arrive on cruise ships and only stay for a few hours.
But, the fact is that many Southern Californians know it is a wonderful place to visit for a weekend or even a full week.
There are so many things to do there that you won't get bored.
Or, if you simply want to sit on a hotel balcony and enjoy the ocean vista you won't be disappointed.
There is fun shopping, dining and nightlife in the tourist zone.
Places like "Papas and Beer" and "Hussongs Cantina" rule the nightlife there, but there are plenty of other restaurants and bars to enjoy.
And the hotels are lovely.
One favorite is Las Rosas.
It is a boutique hotel that features an infinity pool and a gourmet restaurant.
Every room has a comfortable balcony and there is a sumptuous Spa where you can treat yourself to all sorts of body pleasing treats.
Two newer and larger hotels are full service facilities.
The first is Hotel Coral & Marina which features the only pleasure boat marina in Ensenada.
It is a lovely high rise with gorgeous views of the Bay of Ensenada.
The second is Punto Morro Hotel that features a wonderful restaurant, a comfortable pool area.
These hotels are located a couple of miles north of the downtown tourist area and you can't go wrong with either of them.
It is fun to visit Estero Beach Resort, which is about 20 minutes south of Ensenada.
A lovely beach awaits you there and comfortable surrounding including the opportunity to ride horses up and down the long stretch of sandy coastline.
Another interesting natural wonder of Ensenada is La Bufadora.
Round out all of this with the opportunity to Golf at Bahamar, about 22 miles north of downtown or the relatively new Baja Country Club.
Or for the more adventurous there is the opportunity to go Sport Fishing, Grey Whale Watching, Kayaking, or Jet Skiing and you can see why traveling the short 90 miles from San Diego to Ensenada presents an outstanding opportunity for fun in the sun at a relatively reasonable cost compared to venues in Southern California.
