Bajamar Community and Golf Course
Living on a beachfront resort is something many of us fantasize about, no matter our age. The smell of the sea in the air, the ocean a few steps away, and the sound of waves in the background while reading a book or falling asleep, will sometimes make your imagination run wild considering a life in a place where your day begins and ends with the crash of a wave.
Anyone who has ever traveled to Ensenada and has considered living by the beach has probably wondered what it would be like to live in Bajamar. The entrance to this golf resort community is unmistakable and eye-catching, giving you the impression of an oasis in the middle of the Baja desert.
A 40-minute drive from the San Ysidro border will bring you to an extension of over 1600 acres, the setting for one of the best-known golf resorts in Baja. Lagos, Vista, and Oceano are its 3 nine hole golf courses, plus its Putting Green, Chipping Green, Stadium Style Driving Range, and Pro Shop, which continually attract visitors mainly from California and Arizona, always delivering on promises of a good golfing experience followed by margaritas, good food, and a bed to catch up on some much-needed rest in the Hacienda Style Hotel, go for a swim or perhaps a round of tennis in the clubhouse.
Aside from its reputation for good golfing, Bajamar is currently adding to its real estate by expanding the number of homes within the resort with the Mission Coronado, Mission Padre Kino, Santa Barbara, and Oceano communities, plus the Costa Bajamar Luxury Condominiums towers. For those who prefer a custom home, Bajamar also offers lots for sale for home development up to 3 stories.
The question to answer now would be what is there to do outside of the resort?
A 20-minute drive will get you to Ensenada city, where you can find fine dining, movie theaters, grocery stores, museums, and a stop at the fish market is a must to stock up on seafood or for a taste of Ensenada’s delicious fish tacos and cocktails, visit the museums and the cultural center for art music and dance exhibitions. A few more minutes south you will arrive on Estero Beach, where you can participate in nearby deep sea diving, kayaking, whale watching, scuba diving, jet skiing, and several other activities including La Bufadora.

Cetto Monte Xanic, as well as other smaller wine producers such as Baron Balche, Casa de Piedra and many more; some of which offer tours and tastings, others have B&B’s, horseback riding and camping facilities. The Wine Valley also offers several restaurants for a varied culinary experience.

The sand dunes will appear to your left as you approach Puerto Nuevo, famously known for its lobster and the location of over 20 restaurants of diverse culinary expertise.
