Experience Kayak Whale Watching on Rosarito Beach

By Dave Tron


If exploring the beauties of Mexico is on your bucket list, make sure to add whale watching at Rosarito Beach to your itinerary. This beach is not as well known as the popular beaches of Cancun and Tijuana, but it has just as much if not more to offer visitors. Cancun and Tijuana are great for partying in the sun and having a great time with other vacationers, but Rosarito Beach is where you go for a more secluded, low key vacation. Here you can sit back in the sand watch the beautiful horizon, but you can also get out and spot a grey whale, since whale watching is hot at this destination. Located just off the border of Baja, California, this is one of the best beaches in Mexico for whale watching and kayaking.

If you take advantage of the kayaking opportunities available on Rosarito Beach, you're sure to get up close and personal with the magnificent whales that inhibit the area. Rosarito Beach is located just south of the pacific coast of Baja, California, which is also known to be famous of spotting glimpses of the grey whale. You're most likely to meet the whales during the winter months of December and January in Rosarito Beach.

If you also like to fish, you can add that into your kayaking adventure at Rosarito Beach as well. There are lots of fish around the uninhabited Coronado Islands, which sit northwest of the Rosarito shore. There are so many fish around the shores of these islands that even people with no fishing skills or experience usually get very lucky!

While you're paddling through the waters of Rosarito Beach, be sure to try your hand at fishing. This would be very easy to accomplish if you plan to kayak through the waters. The waters of Rosarito Beach are known to have a wide variety of fish, and you're likely to have the most luck just off the Coronado Islands. (These tiny, uninhibited islands are located northwest of the Rosarito Beach shoreline.) Even people who have never caught a fish before succeed around Coronado Islands!

Along with whales and fish, you are also likely to spot sea lions, manatee, and tropical birds along the shoreline of Rosarito Beach if you kayak during the warmer months. Not only will you have this once-in-a-lifetime chance to see some amazing wildlife, but you'll also be given the opportunity to experience great photography.

Most kayaking and whale watching tours in Rosarito Beach are daytime excursions, but there are some tours that offer camping as part of an overnight addition to the tour. If you choose an overnight tour, you will set up camp along the sandy beaches of the tiny surrounding islands of Rosarito Beach. What better way to view a tropical sunset? Although most kayaking tours in Rosarito Beach are not physically challenging, you will need to be in average physical shape to participate. The waters in this area can be a bit wavy or rough at times due to the inhibiting whales, but can still be paddled through by the average person.
