Puerto Nuevo, which is located between the cities of Rosarito and Ensenada, calls itself the "Lobster Capital of Baja". Over 30 restaurants line the cobblestone streets offering lobster platters and other seafood. Many tourists drive the distance on weekends to taste the savory crustacean which is always accompanied by beans, rice and hand-made flour tortillas. The Annual Wine and Lobster Festival, which takes place during lobster season, offers a festive atmosphere complete with mariachis, live music bands, and dancers. Seven of Baja's wineries participate and some of the breweries, such as Tecate, set up shop to offer samples.

The cave paintings in the rural regions of Mexico are another attraction that interests many outdoor enthusiasts seeking to explore Mexico's history. Rock art can be seen in areas such as the El Vallecito Region, which is located just a few miles northwest of La Rumorosa village. The area covers approximately 200 hectares and displays rock paintings detailing stars, human figures and other geometric shapes. "El Diablito" has become the most well known of the drawings due to the way the morning sun highlights its eyes. It usually takes an entire day to cover cave murals and ancient drawings.
