SCORE JOURNAL 86 BAJA NEWS For many visitors crossing into Baja California, Rosarito is the beginning of the journey. Located just south of the border, Rosarito blends oceanfront lifestyle with adventure culture. Surfboards, motorcycles, off-road vehicles, and beach cruisers all share the same coastline. It's a city built around movement, freedom, and connection to the outdoors. Race teams and fans heading south for the Baja 400 often make Rosarito part of the experience. Days begin with Pacific Ocean views and coastal drives, while the city's beaches, cliffs, and nearby trails create the perfect setting for exploration before race day even begins. Rosarito's energy is young, creative, and active. Cafés, breweries, beach clubs, and oceanfront restaurants give the city a vibrant urban feel, while the surrounding terrain keeps Baja's adventurous spirit close at all times. Here, the Pacific is more than scenery—it's part of the lifestyle. There's a different rhythm along the Pacific coast of Baja California. It's found in the early morning surf of Rosarito, in the scent of charcoal grills and fresh seafood drifting through the streets of Ensenada, and in the endless roads connecting beach towns, mountains, deserts, and race history across the peninsula. The Baja 400 captures that rhythm perfectly. More than just another stop on the SCORE calendar, the Baja 400 represents a modern Baja experience—one where racing, lifestyle, adventure, food, and coastal culture all come together. The race moves through some of northern Baja California's most dynamic terrain, connecting urban energy, rugged backroads, Pacific Ocean views, and remote desert sections that remind racers why Baja remains one of the most respected destinations in off-road racing.
