Surfing at San Miguel in Ensenada

by | Baja California

Baja California Surf Trip

Ensenada is the last big city after Tijuana when you go down Mexican highway number one. There is a place called San Miguel, which is a famous surfer spot. Jens was waiting there for me. We were back together, which gave me much more time and space to focus on photography and surfing. The first pictures I could capture are from Ensenada.

Still, we needed a few days to prepare for our road trip down Baja California. The goal was to follow some dirt roads to some remote surfing locations. The Baja 1000 Desert Rally uses those tracks. So the dirt roads can be pretty challenging, so I had to keep my eyes on the way instead of taking photos out of the side window.

Ensenada must take some time before going down the Baja California because this is the last big city to get special equipment. That is the reason why Ensenada also is called “Instant-Nada.”

About the Author

Hi, my name is Christian Köhlert, and I am a photographer and digital content creator living most of the time in Montreux, Switzerland. Since I came to Baja California, in 2016, the Mexican peninsula has become my second home. Especially, San Pedrito Beach, close to Todos Santos, has been my front yard during the cold winter months in Europe. At this beach, I learned surfing, so I came every year to enjoy the waves. I have many more in my Travel Photography Blog if you like my photos.
