And have fun while you’re at it
The 6th Annual Baja Blues Fest returns to the Rosarito Beach Hotel this August 18, 19 and 20. This end-of-summer musical event is one of the most popular events in Baja, and it’s all for a great cause… to help local children beat “the blues.” Read more
Fish Report
Coronado Islands
Recently the water around the Islands has been trying to clean up a little bit, with North Island having some clean 62-degree water at times, but South Island generally remaining dirty and off color green. Even in the clean water, though, there hasn’t been much sign of yellowtail – only a few bonito. Read more
Que Pasa in Baja?

Musical instruments, costumes, computers, kitchen equipment and supplies, and sporting equipment were among the items pinched. Read more
Craft Beer, Anyone?
Local Gringo starts brewery and nails it
Baja’s options for craft beer keep expanding at a tremendous rate. It looks like just a few weeks pass before you start hearing about a new beer that someone is brewing and starting to sell.
