BAHIAS DE SAN QUINTIN

Located within Ensenada’s territorial limits, these bays run from the town of Colonet down to San Quintin and its own three interconnected bays, 119mi.  from the city of Ensenada and 187mi. south of the San Ysidro international border.  With its great climate and great biodiversity, these bays have been very important for human activities for thousands of years.  The Mision de Santo Domingo, founded in 1775 by the Dominican order, and ancient seashells along its beaches are the oldest traces of human presence in this region.  At the end of the 1800’s, English families settled in these lands and left evidence of their passing in the area known as “Muelle Viejo” (the old dock).  These houses, the cemetery and other constructions have become an important tourist attraction in this area.
