San Diego-Ensenada Ferry
You get to drive down a scenic route by the Pacific. You might even stop by Puerto Nuevo in Rosarito for some lobster and refried beans. You have the best wine in the western hemisphere and the best culinary experiences and just plain fun.
It sounds appealing and we've been doing it for years. But, what if, you could avoid the drive, the tolls and the long lines to cross back to the United States from Mexico? Well, we have good news!
There is a new project scheduled to begin this 2023: a ferry that will take you from the port of San Diego over to Ensenada.
Imagine that! A big ferry with a capacity of more than 275 people giving you a ride down south to enjoy a day at Ensenada and all it has to offer. Even though it will not be carrying vehicles at first, it will be considered for the future. The goal is to one day be able to transport 600 people and 75 vehicles, but those are plans for later.
The boat, a big one, was purchased in Canada and will be docked in the port of San Diego.
You will be able to purchase your tickets, (fee to still be determined. Please check Port of San Diego for pricing as well as your local tourist guides). Final details are now being taken care of by both governments, including Immigration issues going both ways.
So, 111 kilometers (around 70 miles) will take less than 2.5 hours and you can start enjoying your trip to Baja California from the moment you step in the ferry.
