Located in the Pacific Ocean coast in the Northern mexican state of Baja California, Playas de Rosarito is only 30 minutes south of the US/Mexican border with California. Established by Dominic missionaries in 1772, the "Misión del Santo Rosario", later changed to it's diminutive, Rosarito, was part of the old "Camino Real de las Misiones". In 1885 the Mexican government acknowledged the farming and agricultural region as "el Rancho de Rosarito", date which is considered the official founding date.

It's tourism development began with the opening of the Rosarito Beach Resort and the Rosarito Beach Hotel in 1924, and grew due to it's beaches, abundant sea food, especially lobster, well known services and hospitality of the local population. In 1995 Rosarito was named a independent Municipality.
