Thinking about staying on the ship in Ensenada? Think again. In this 2026 update, we go beyond the "scruffy" reputation to explore the new Ensenada Bay Village project and the city's "hipster" transformation. We show you exactly how to skip the $15-$20 paid shuttles, where to find the safest bank-connected ATMs (Santander on Ruiz), and a walk-through of the new Mercado Municipal Gastélum. Whether you're looking for clean bathrooms (with an honor system!), authentic local coffee at Raices, or a Michelin-recognized meal at La Concheria, we've mapped out a 5-6 hour day on foot that bridges the gap between 'cruise tourist' and 'authentic traveler.'
