When you go to Ensenada you really don’t have to bring much. Most people over pack. We typically suggest a couple of good swimming suits, shorts, tee shirts, sunblock, bug spray and a waterproof camera. One thing we have not stressed enough, though, is the value of good footwear.

The right shoes can totally enhance your experience at the beach. So what makes for good footwear? First, it should be comfortable and good for walking. Second it should be completely waterproof. There is nothing more convenient than shoes that allow you to walk down to the beach and then keep going into the water. The third thing, though, is that they should be very tough and durable. Climbing on rocks and trekking around the peninsula can test even the best of brands. Flip flops might seem like a reasonable option, but they simply are not. In our experience money spent of the right shoes is money well spent. Personally, I love my Merrils, but there are other good options. A great place to start looking is REI. Their products are made for the outdoors and guaranteed for comfort.
