A view of a beach in Mexico.
Ensenada is a few minutes' drive from the southern part of Tijuana and sits along the Bahía de Todos Santos. This Mexican city is packed with people, especially on weekends when crowds of cruise-ship passengers flood into the city. Still, Ensenada remains far cheaper, calmer and smaller than Tijuana and is a superior jumping-off location for ecotourism destinations in the area, making it a popular vacation spot.
