When it comes to sightseeing the most popular spots are the town's showpiece 'Riviera' centre, originally a casino owned by renowned boxer Jack Dempsey in the 1930s and now restored as the cultural and social centre of Ensenada; the Bodegas de Santo Tomas winery, where tastings and tours are offered at its downtown premises; the Malecon (waterfront promenade) where sea lions congregate; and the Ventana al Mar Park with its massive Mexican flag. There are also several small museums.Close to downtown there are some small, pleasant beaches, and along the adjacent coast some of the best beaches on the Baja Peninsula can to be enjoyed, offering a huge variety of recreational facilities from surfing and sailing to jet-skiing and scuba diving. Horse riding on the beach is very popular. Trips out of town include visits to La Bufadora, an amazing ocean blowhole, which shoots water dozens of feet into the air. Whale watching trips are also a great option. In addition, Ensenada has a packed events calendar, including the famous Baja 1,000 off-road races, regattas, cycling events, a seafood fair and the annual Mexican Mardis Gras.
