If
you want to escape the pace and noise of Tijuana, head
for ROSARITO, about 45-minutes' bus ride on the old
road to Ensenada. Since beaches in Tijuana are invariably
crowded and dirty, Rosarito, is the better alternative,
while less popular, the town has a far longer, sandier
strand and a much more restful atmosphere. Since 1997,
the town has become an attraction for movie aficianados
and even more southern Californians who have come to
see Fox Studios Baja, just south of the town on the
free highway to Ensenada. This bit of Hollywood-in-Mexico,
originally created for the filming of Titanic, is now
a massive full-time production facility that utilizes
its seventeen-million-gallon oceanfront tank for water-based
films (including Pearl Harbor and Deep Blue Sea ).
