Erendira : An Ideal Destination

Erendira, more formally known as Ejido ErĂ©ndira, is a small community located within the city of Ensenada, on the Baja California peninsula. Belonging to the third largest city in Baja California, Erendira is a veritable paradise of cultural exploration, fine dining experiences, and recreation. Many tourists even purchase seasonal homes in the community, to visit and entertain in, during the most favorable seasons of the year. Historically, the first Europeans arrived to this region and established it in the early 1500’s but archaeologists have determined that people have gathered around the coastal pools of this community for food, for an estimated ten thousand years.

Erendira is home to an estimated two thousand people, but is a seasonal home to another two thousand people who visit frequently. The climate is typical to the colder, dreary side of the Pacific coastline, and the community itself is quite secluded and calm with many of the locals being in the commercial fishing industry. There are a few grocery stores, a general market, a couple gas stations, and a cozy little hotel. With this part of the Baja California peninsula being so secluded and sparsely developed, there is a seemingly endless variety of vibrant flora and fauna thriving in the area. An amazing plethora of wildlife visitors can expect to witness are migrating whales, dolphins, seals, pelicans, snails and a huge variety of marine fish, as well as clams and seagulls.

Aside from the wonderful and awesome appeal of the natural wildlife and plant life in the region, there is a huge amount of fun you can have while staying in Erendira. Though tourism isn’t one of the communities biggest features, there is a quaint little hotel that will surprise traveling couples with a romantic view of the coast and pretty decent cuisine. On the other hand you can opt for a five star experience right outside of the region in Ensenada, at the Hotel Coral and Marina Resort[reference link - www.hotelcoral.com]. This amazing five star resort features a plethora of oceanic recreational activities, food, and much more for any kind of visitor expecting the royal treatment, while visiting the Erendira area.

Commercial fishing has always been an integral part of the life of the inhabitants of Erendira, and the area has made a mark in the industry as a key destination for catching ocean fish for commercial use. For this reason, many people visit for the guided fishing tours. On guided fishing tours you are on a boat out to sea, with a tour guide who educates you about the kinds of fish you can catch in the area, and you may even hook a record breaking marine fish!
