A mere 30 miles south of the California/Mexico border is a coastal paradise just waiting for you to discover.  Whether you prefer to fish from the rocks, explore tidal-pools, go golfing, surf, tan at the pool, go shopping or do a multitude of other activities, you'll be sure to enjoy yourself!

Las Gaviotas is a private community developed by American interests, with 24 hour security, only eight miles from the picturesque resort town of Rosarito Beach. 

We offer luxury two and three bedroom houses, with cable TV, all the amenities and ocean views. One of our two bedroom houses is an oceanfront property.

The waves are great, the accommodation is surprisingly affordable, and the location cannot be beaten.  You are close enough to the bustling activities of TJ (Tijuana for the uninitiated!) to enjoy the sometimes frenetic nightlife, yet sufficiently far away to experience the peace and solitude of the most hollow of waves or most challenging of golf courses.

If shopping is your game, ceramics, leather goods, baskets, clothing, jewelry, prescription drugs and a host of other items are readily available at the dozens of stores nearby. An increasing number of visitors are utilizing the resources of Rosarito to have custom furniture made at very attractive prices!

Puerto Nuevo, home to some of the world's finest lobsters at unbelievable prices, is just around the corner, while Agua Caliente Racetrack, Jai Alai and one of the finest bull rings in Mexico are all just a short drive away. Whale-watching boats depart from the sport fishing docks in Ensenada, (45 minutes south of Las Gaviotas),  between the months of December and April. 

Take a 5 minute drive to the 20th Century Fox Film Studios & have a  behind-the-scenes look at the filming of the movie 'Titanic', or book into a nearby spa for a massage, skin treatment, or other treatment.

Baja California has been a legendary destination for fun-lovers from not only the USA, but from around the world.  Come and discover the magic for yourself!

Directions

Getting to Las Gaviotas is really easy!

Take either Interstate 5 or Interstate 805 south towards the Mexican border.

Make sure you exit the freeway at Via San Ysidro, about a mile before the border, for Mexican Insurance.

As you cross the border, a red or green light will be activated.  This is done completely randomly.  Green means proceed, while if you get a red, you will be directed to a customs-inspection area. Don't be nervous. Just wind down your windows and let the officials take a peek. They might want to look inside your trunk or under the seats. This is quite normal. When they are satisfied that you have no guns or drugs in your vehicle, they will wave you through.

As you depart the customs-inspection area, keep right, making sure you stay under the "Ensenada/Rosarito Scenic Route" signs.

Wind along 6 1/2 miles of road & you will come to the first toll booth, where you will need to pay approximately (US) $2.00.  This is a great road & well-worth the bucks. 15 miles from that toll, is another toll. (There's a Pemex gas station there in case you need gas or refreshments.)

8 short miles later, and you'll come to an exit that says "Puerto Nuevo/Cantamar".  Turn right, so you are now heading north, (the way you've come from), and drive for about a mile.  You will see the White Horse liquor store on the right.  Stop and pick up some Corona, lime and tequila. Las Gaviotas is opposite the White Horse. Tell the security guards at the gate who you are and where you'll be staying & kick back!
