Ensenada Harbor is at the northeast end of the rectangular bay and is protected by a mile long breakwater.  The entrance is at the southern end of the breakwater which is marked by a light. This is a port and the northwest part of the harbor is for the cruise ship berths, the fishing fleet and the big ship boatyards.  The anchorage is along the southeast.  The southeastern shore is home to many small marinas (docks) and the small boat shipyard.  South of here, the new cruise ship wharf is finished and a new marina is under construction.  The anchorage has a soft mud bottom, be sure to use enough scope, the wind will come up in the afternoon and boats will drag if not anchored properly.  And there is now a charge to anchor in Ensenada Harbor.  Check with the docks, there may be a slip for you.  Much more convenient. 
 
Ensenada Baja California      l
 Ensenada, Baja California, located just 70 short miles south of San Diego is the perfect weekend getaway. First discovered in 1542 by Portuguese navigator Don Juan Rodriguez, Ensenada was known as a small fishing village and the home of Hussongs cantina until just recently, when it was selected from a handful of elite Baja cities to become Baja Norte's weekend Hot Spot!!!!!!!!!!
Ensenada (entsənädə) , city (1990 pop. 259,979), Baja California state, NW Mexico. Developed in the 19th cent., Ensenada is the oldest deep-sea port in Baja California and is one of the most important ports in Mexico. It is a primary processing and shipping point for the region's agricultural produce, which includes grains, cotton, and fish. Ensenada also possesses a broad-based manufacturing industry created largely through foreign investment (see maquiladoras). The city is also a popular tourist attraction.
