Feel the ocean spray in Las Gaviotas
South of Tijuana where the Pacific breezes are fresh and palms sprout from the very edge of the Baja, the luxury villas and swish condos, chic homes and stylish Las Gaviotas vacation rentals offer a chilled base on the surf-washed Mexican coast. It's a place to unwind and rejuvenate the soul, where days are spent flitting between spas and infinity pools, or riding waves and soaking up the rays on the beach. Sizzling fish BBQs beckon in nearby Puerto Nuevo in the evenings, and excursions to the tamale stalls and party strips of Rosarito are there to spice things up.
Beaches and Baja past in Las Gaviotas
The beach will always be the main attraction in Las Gaviotas. It comes in pockets as you move along the shoreline between the lanky palms, offering a boulder-speckled lazing spot here, a section of roaring, rolling surf swell there. Of course, you can also venture further afield from your Las Gaviotas vacation rental, to uncover more history on the Baja. Go visit the Museum of Playas de Rosarito up the coast, packed with local relics, or mosey up to hear the rancher stories told at the old farms around Primo Tapia.
Hitting the waves in Las Gaviotas
Grab the board and don the wetsuit because this section of the Baja coast is nothing short of legendary on the Mexican surf circuit. The reason? It's primed for all sorts of riders. Its rolling barrels can entertain the experts, while the soft breaks on either end of the bay are perfect for finding those board feet in the company of local surf guides. If you don't want to get wet, you can always just chill on the cacti-topped cliffs watching the carvers do their thing. Gnarly.
Lots of winter sun in Las Gaviotas
Las Gaviotas _ and, in fact, the whole Baja besides _ stays hot throughout the year. And while temperatures rarely drop below 70, the rainfall is another story altogether. Peaking between May and August, it can bring sporadic showers to the coast that don't let off again until October. What's more, the conditions can be humid then, which all adds up to make the season between December and April the best for seeking out the most relaxing Las Gaviotas vacation rentals.
