Year-round

La Bufadora blowhole (2nd largest marine geyser in world); wine tasting in Valle de Guadalupe; kayak at Todos Santos; fish taco trail through town; Hussong's Cantina (oldest bar in Baja)

Pier is walkable to downtown Ensenada

Close to the US border - very safe tourist area; vendors at La Bufadora can be aggressive; avoid drinking tap water; short port call typical (often half day)

Ensenada is often a short (4-6 hour) port stop on Baja cruises from LA. The fish tacos here are the best you'll ever have - eat as many as possible. Hussong's Cantina is where the margarita was allegedly invented.
