Rosarito's fame goes back to Prohibition days when the Rosarito Beach Hotel was opened to cater to thirsty tourists from southern California. Its territory ranges from the bluffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean - some with working corn-field rancherias - down to the beaches.

Present day Rosarito is full of fun oriented activities for people of all ages. Discos, volley-ball courts, nearby surfing spots and many local bars cater to the "young and the restless". Restaurants ranging from gourmet to taco-stands cater to all palates. Lounging on the beach or at the pier extending from the Rosarito Beach Hotel are relaxing spots to read books and admire sunsets.
