Bahía Todos Santos, or Bay of All Saints, is a sheltered deepwater bay.
History Located on the harbor of Bahía de Todos Santos, Ensenada has sheltered explorers, freighters and fishing boats for more than four centuries.
Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, searching for the Strait of Anian (the mythical Northwest Passage), entered
the bay in September 1542, encountering a small group of indigenous hunter-gatherers.
In 1602 Sebastian Vizcaino named Ensenada de Todos los Santos after All Saints's Day, November 1,
During colonial times the harbor was a occasional refuge for Spanish galleons returning to Acapulco from Manila; the last one sailed through in 1815.
Situated on the coastline of Bahía de Todos Santos — an inlet of the Pacific Ocean on the peninsula's Gold Coast — the Port of Ensenada now is an important commercial, fishing, and tourist port.
