Ensenada is a medium-sized coastal
Mexican city in the state of
Baja. It's a common stop for
cruise ships, and since it's only a quick 2-hour
drive from the
American border at San Ysidro (just south of San Diego), it's also quite popular with American
tourists out for a little
weekend getaway.
The full name of the city is actually Ensenada de Todos Los Santos (Inlet of All The Saints), and it's the fourth largest city in Baja.
A short boat-ride across the bay takes you to Isla de Todos Los Santos, a beautiful little island with world-class surfing conditions.
