Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico

Just 70 miles south of the San Diego / Tijuana border crossing, Ensenada is a great destination for the quick weekend getaway or the perfect place to park your RV and stay a while! Situated on the beautiful Pacific coast, Ensenada is one of Mexico's most active ports for vacation cruise lines and visiting pleasure boats.

The drive to Ensenada from San Diego takes about 90 minutes, and is extremely scenic and pleasant. The Transpeninsular toll highway running from Tijuana directly into Ensenada is extremely well maintained and safe. Many parts of the highway wind through the coastal hills hundreds of feet above the Pacific ocean making for breathtaking views. See more Baja driving distances
