How do I get to Raul's?
30 miles south of downtown San Diego in Baja Mexico. Cross the U.S. boarder into Mexico and take Mex. Hwy 1 to Rosarita/Ensenada. Highway 1 takes you west then south along the coast. You want to exit the toll road at the Puerto Nuevo exit. This is the first exit after the toll booth at Rosarito. That exit drops you right at Raul's Restaurant. This is a hard to find spot. However, its just south of a very large radio tower. Someone actually lives on the land there (living in extreme poverty), and charges $5 USD for entry (if he's there). He's very excited to see kiters/surfers so give him a thumbs up and a high five. If he's NOT there, DO NOT ENTER, or face possible jail time for trespassing. Just go further south and try to find an access spot to the water (else you've wasted a trip and a day).
