Rosarito

Southern Californians use Rosarito (population 100,000) as a weekend getaway, and during school vacations, especially spring break, the crowd becomes one big raucous party. Off-season, the place becomes a ghost town, which is arguably even less appealing than the frat scene.The beach, which stretches from the power plant at the north end of town about 8 km (5 mi) south, is long with beautiful sand and sunsets, but it's less romantic for the amateur explosives that boom every few minutes.
