Baja California Norte\u2019s long, sparse sections of undeveloped coastline are complemented by small, seaside villages, some no bigger than a cantina and a hotel, where a dollar\u00a0stretches almost as far as the horizon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Puerto Nuevo<\/strong><br \/>\nIf Rosarito is Tijuana\u2019s younger, dumber sister, then Puerto Nuevo is its chill aunt. Founded in the late 1950s by a few fishing families, Puerto Nuevo is the place to go for fresh, cheap lobster. Just 50 minutes from downtown San Diego, Puerto Nuevo\u2019s main draw is its abundance of fresh lobster served up in traditional Puerto Nuevo style\u2014pan-fried with a side of rice, beans and tortillas. There are more than 30 restaurants in Puerto Nuevo, including the village\u2019s first eatery, Puerto Nuevo 1.<\/p>\n<p><strong>La Fonda<\/strong><br \/>\nFor a village the size of a shopping center, La Fonda has a lot to offer San Diegans who want a relaxing getaway. Just 40 miles from the San Yisdro border crossing, La Fonda\u2019s seaside restaurants and bars provide an ideal backdrop for mid-day margaritas. The small costal village is a perfect spot for budget-conscious travelers and families who enjoy fine dining and oceanfront rooms, but don\u2019t want to have to take out a second mortgage to do it. Ocean view rooms can be had for under $100 a night, and if you want to go even cheaper, La Fonda also has a campground (no hook ups), which costs between $15 and $23.<\/p>\n<p><strong>La Salina Beach<\/strong><br \/>\nThe best way to find La Salina is to follow the white highway markers to kilometer 71; keep your eyes sharp, though, because it\u2019s easy to pass right by this little slice of paradise. While developers have built up the nearby marina, the hallmark of La Salina Beach is still its lone cantina and hotel. Overlooking a huge sandy beach, the cantina offers good, but cheap, food and drinks as well as a deep jukebox and pool table. Above the cantina are a handful of rooms, ranging from $45-$65 (WiFi included). The rooms are spacious and each one has a balcony overlooking the beach.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Randy Kalp Beyond the notorious avenues of Tijuana and the eternal spring-break atmosphere of Rosarito, lies a stretch of coastline devoid of billboards, sprawling suburbs and rush hour traffic jams\u2014imagine San Diego in the early 1900s.
