Getting there and around Rosarito
Important Information
Crossing the border from California to Baja
The border crossing at San Ysidro is open 24 hours a day. Farther east, the Otay Mesa crossing is open daily from 6 A.M. to 10 P.M. A third border crossing in Tecate, CA is open from 6 A.M. to midnight. Visitors to the northern part of Baja California do not need passports or tourist cards if staying in the country for 72 hours or less. If you plan to stay longer or travel beyond Ensenada, you'll need to obtain a tourist card. This document is free of charge; proof of U.S. citizenship is required
Transportation in Rosarito
Most people arrive in Rosarito by car. Once in town, however, taxis are very easy to find on the main highway, and are a convenient way to get around town or to head south for a lunch excursion.
Buses stop in Rosarito for travelers headed north or south. Being close to Tijuana does have an advantage, as the International Airport has connections to many other large cities. Tourists in the border area also have the option of taking a taxi to Rosarito Beach. This eliminates the hassles of renting a car or waiting for a bus, and also eliminates waiting in the car line to cross the border when heading north again.
Driving
Your U.S. auto insurance is not valid in Baja, so stop near the border at any number of insurance companies visible from the highway. Buy coverage for however many days you will be in Baja - rates are around $10 per day. From San Diego, California, take Interstate Highway 5 or Interstate 805 south. This will take you to the San Ysidro, California border crossing (at Tijuana). Bear to the right just after entering Mexico. As the road begins to split, take the second left where the signs read "Rosarito-Ensenada Scenic Road."
That will take you to the road that runs along the international border (Avenida Internacional). You'll see the border fence to your right as you travel west. You'll stay on this road as you climb the first hill. Stay right and keep going straight. As you drop down into the canyon (known as "Smugglers Canyon"), you'll want to take the right turn-off to the road going west. Up another hill and then you'll drop down to Playas de Tijuana intersection. Since we are going to Rosarito Beach we'll follow the road as it curves left.
Just ahead is the toll booth. A toll fee of $2.35 US dollars will take you all the way to Rosarito Beach. The 17 mile scenic trip will take about fifteen minutes. At Rosarito Beach, there are three exits off the toll road. The first exit will take your right into town. You'll drive along Benito Juárez Boulevard (main street) for about two miles to downtown. If you would prefer to avoid city traffic, stay on the toll road and take the third exit. This exit takes you directly to the heart of the tourist area (two short blocks).
Shuttle bus
If you are not driving down, there are companies that offer shuttle bus service from the border to this hotel. Prominent among these is Mexicoach that offers the convenience of shuttling from the Border Station Parking or from the San Diego Trolley's last stop at the U.S. side of the border to the Rosarito Beach Hotel, at the price of $8.00 Dollars round trip.
