Events in Baja

Spring Break Mexico

There is always some Event in Baja taking place. The question is, what are you in the mood for? Whether you love to kick back and relax on the beach with a good book, explore ancient Mayan ruins, or just party the night away, you can do it all in Baja every season. The Baja peninsula is a delight for all the senses, and this exciting region has something to offer every traveler.

From the adventure seeker to the sun lover, from the honeymooners to the octogenarians, Baja is the perfect vacation destination for everyone and anyone. Filled with great things to see and do, Baja features a wide variety of activities for visitors of all ages and interests. Here are some of the highlights of Baja, including the goings-on in TijuanaEnsenada, and Rosarito.

Events in Baja: Off-Road Races

Several times a year, SCORE puts on off-road races in Baja. Check these articles and see if you can catch one!

Wine Tastings

California does not have a lock on fine wine. From the rich grape-growing regions surrounding Tijuana to the fertile soil outside Ensenada and Rosarito, wine is big business throughout the Baja peninsula.

When you visit Baja, you can sample the best those local wineries offer. Be sure to bring your walking shoes – you will want to take a tour and see how the grapes are grown.

Baja Whale Watching

If you are a nature lover, you will find plenty of beauty when you visit Baja. The Baja peninsula is known for its natural beauty and its amazing wildlife.

Some wildlife is found in the trees and forests, but if you think big, you need to head offshore. Whale watching is big business in Baja, and you will find plenty of operators who can take you in search of these denizens of the deep. So channel your inner Ahab and head out in search of your white whale.  More information on Whale Watching in Baja is here.

Craft Beer Adventures

If wine is not your thing, you can still enjoy some adult beverages the next time you visit Baja. Tijuana is not all about all-night partying and drunken shenanigans – there is an amazing craft brew scene here, one that is focused more on quality than quantity.

Beyond Tijuana, there are craft breweries throughout the Baja region. Whether you crave a rich dark stout, a light ale, or something in between, you can find it south of the border. Just grab your glass, call your friends and get ready to have a great time.  Remember, don’t drink and drive in Mexico!

Baja Events: Water Sports Galore

The Baja peninsula is right on the water, and that is good news for fans of adventure sports. From kiteboarding to waterskiing, from surfing scuba diving to deep-sea fishing, you can enjoy some wet and wild adventure no matter when you visit.

You do not even need to bring your gear, although you can if you wish. There are plenty of local outfitters who can provide everything you need, from fishing tackle to surfboards.
