Mexico
Rosarito
Surfers and taquerias define this laid-back Pacific coast town where waves meet weekend escapes.
Rosarito moves to the rhythm of rolling surf and sizzling carnitas, a beach town that never lost its unhurried Mexican soul. The malecón stretches along sandy shores where surfers paddle out at dawn and families gather for sunset cervezas, while taco stands and seafood shacks line streets that smell of salt air and charcoal smoke.
