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 $2.40
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
$10.00 Dollars round trip.
