How bad has the crime in Rosarito and neighboring areas become? Try VERY. It seems like everyone and their brother has a new tale of terror to tell. From traffic violation scams to roadside robberies to kidnappings and assault; the advice from locals is to stay far, far away. The New York Times has more.

    Good post. I hadn’t seen this article; may have to rethink my next trip to Mexico. Damn bandidos!

    Now I am worried about our next trip in May. We have been going there for the past three years and never made any negative experiences. But we have a little boy and crimes like that get me worried, especially when I think that my husband will be in the water and I am on the beach with my son.

    Surfers coming into a 3rd world country rife with unemployment and all that goes with that (e.g., poverty), and coming down, as one of the interviewees mentions in the NY Times article, “driving luxury vehicles, carrying wads of cash” or flashing wealth via electronic toys and surprised one gets assaulted; well, duh. Yes, come on down, but be aware, have economic consciousness, do your homework, then bliss out on some bodacious surfing. word.
