Mexico’s federal commission against sanitary risks recently labeled six beaches in Tijuana and Rosarito as being the most polluted in all of Mexico when it comes to fecal matter. The bacteria comes from raw sewage in the water. The agency says these six beaches far exceed the acceptable health levels set by the World Health Organization. During the last quarter of this year, 254 beaches throughout Mexico were surveyed and the six in Northern Baja topped the list as the most polluted as a result of sewage in the water. The federal agency said in a statement “immediate actions need to take place at these six beaches to prevent health risks for tourists and Mexican nationals.” The fecal matter is believed to have come from discharges of untreated sewage at a plant in Punta Bandera about five miles south of the border. The state of Baja California has announced a plan to refurbish the Punta Bandera facility starting in January, but the work should take almost a year to complete.
Like others who have commented, many of the beaches have water that’s so polluted you shouldn’t swim in it. Raw sewage is a serious matter. I chose to not move to Lake Chapala because it is also polluted. I don’t want to live where I can only look at the water but not get in it. But, Rosarito and Lake Chapala do have many, many positive attributes.
While the beaches in Rosarito are attractive, what about the water quality? I have read that sewage flows, especially from Tijuana, often include unacceptable levels of pollution, especially fecal matter.
I would definitely avoid them after much rain. I wish there was some website that published water quality testing, but I haven't found any. Quite a few surfers go there. My mom lived in Rosarito Beach for decades and loved it. My kids would visit her at times and they never had any problems.
@DocPsych98 The water quality is not good. It varies with the current, winds etc. For the most part it is best to stay out of the water. I won't enter it. If u do go in, shower thoroughly as soon as u are out with antibacterial soap. Huge amounts of raw sewage is dumped in the Pacific 30 miles north in TJ and SD. TJ doesn't have enough treatment capability with its growth. U S and Mx have struggled with this for years. 20 yrs ago it was pretty good. Today not good.
I love Rosarito! It is a bit pricey as compared to other areas of Mexico, but it is close to California and great for cross border transits. Can you all do one for Ensenada?
The Rosarito beaches contamination stems from inadequate sewage infrastructure struggling to cope with rapid urbanization. Insufficient treatment facilities, combined with factors like stormwater runoff, contribute to untreated sewage flowing into the ocean, posing health and environmental risks of great impact. Please research this serious problem.
LOVE the channel but this city too close to the border for me & too expensive. I'd argue Mexico has FAR better places with less crime, pollution and cheaper than Northern Baja.
Rosarito has the most contaminated beaches and water in Mexico. This is no lie! Check other RUclips videos to verify this. The Mexican federal government has rankings of water quality of all beaches in Mexico. Also, Rosarito lacks infrastructure, lack of paved roads, inadequate water distribution, and lack of drainage. Plus it's extremely cold at night 9 months of the year, with a heavy rainy season. You're far better off in Cancun or Cabo San Lucas where winter is not cold at all.
These stats are from the government in Baja California- you can see it varies depending on the area of the city www.seguridadbc.gob.mx/contenidos/estadisticas3.php

@tijuanataxi - Thank you for your informative comment!

I would never move here there is more better places in mexico better views and water !
While the beaches in Rosarito are attractive, what about the water quality? I have read that sewage flows, especially from Tijuana, often include unacceptable levels of pollution, especially fecal matter.
I’m not a water expert but I have heard that for basically all oceans in the USA and Mexico not only Rosarito. Not sure it is true
I think I heard something similar one time.
I would definitely avoid them after much rain. I wish there was some website that published water quality testing, but I haven't found any. Quite a few surfers go there. My mom lived in Rosarito Beach for decades and loved it. My kids would visit her at times and they never had any problems.

@@tomvansoelen6557what’s your source to prove this? Serious question 😊

I’m our video on Ensenada is coming next week! Thanks for watching
@@MexicoRelocationGuide I'd like to see a comparison of the two. Thanks.
Rosarito has turned into a suburb of San Diego…lost its charm a long time ago.
Great video! Thank you for sharing all the information.
How is the internet provided? Satellite? Or through cable?
Glad you liked it. Satélite is available anywhere a satélite is within range. The companies we mentioned are not satélite. They are cable
@@MexicoRelocationGuide thank you

Great Video, During the summer we, family drive down from LA. Grandparents, aunts an Uncle had small house there. 2 lane road. 1950-60.

Cold but not freezing. Very pleasant.
Excellent
Great vid. Mobile phone cost with US access?
Thanks for watching! Mobile lines start at $300 pesos a month for a basic plan. Usually that has access to calling the USA
It looks lovely. I hope to visit sometime in 2025
What about earthquakes? California has them frequently.
Do u think the border less than 30 miles away stops the quakes? Use common sense
Not very many in San Diego so it would be similar. Note the biggest earthquake in US history was Madrid Missouri.
Rosarito is so barren...reminds me of Las Vegas NV. Not my choice but to each their own.
Lovely
I am so glad that you posted a video on Rosarito. I am retired and this is one of the areas that I am interested in.
What is the crime rates, gang stuff and theft in Rosarito?
They dont usually show bad areas. Plus since she said alot of Americans go there so it must be safe
These stats are from the government in Baja California- you can see it varies depending on the area of the city

I really enjoyed this video. I'm learning more and more about RB. Thank you for the lesson!
I don’t know about now but 20 years ago it was not a nice beach
I live in Rosarito! We've been here for almost 7 years. We love it! Most people do speak English.
But they don't have to. Please, learn Spanish!!!
Expats??? You mean American Inmigrants, right?
