Ensenada Mexico

This bustling seaport a few hours from the California-Mexico border is known for deep sea fishing, fabulous locally-caught lobster, a sea front promenade, and great shopping along Avenida Primera. In addition to its beautiful coastline, Ensenada is famous for "La Bufadora," an immensely strong blowhole where tourists gather to hear and see (and often, be drenched by) the geyser. Ensenada is also surrounded by a burgeoning wine district. If time allows, try to visit some of the wineries, such as Cavas Valmar and Bodegas de Santo Tomas. The wines are surprisingly good, and the prices can't be beat!
