 The beach north of San Felipe by dabuwan There are Kms of pristine beach both north and south of San Felipe. The beach is ideal for long walks and the sea is usually quiet and warm enough for a swim all year round (a bit cold in winter, but still you can do it). There are a few campgrounds, some with bungalows, where you can rest for a drink. Leave a Comment

 San Felipe beach by mht_in_la San Felipe is a small fishing village (or used to be), and most activities happen along the beach. It has very relaxed atmosphere. The beach is long and the sand is soft. When the village is not filled with tourists, local children play sand here. However, the water is too muddy to dip into. Leave a Comment

The Sea of Cortez contains some of the finest fishing in the world and boasts an estimated 800 varieties of identified fish. Marine biologists suggest nearly four times that many. The majority of the varieties are found close to the shores. San Felipe has always been a fishing village due to the abundance of ocean resources. Not only are "game fish" regularly caught, but shell fish such as lobster, crabs, and shrimp are also a big part of the local diet. And, you'll definitely want to sample some of these recipes while you're visiting the San Felipe. Fishing is available by boat or shore. Sea Bass (Grouper), Triggerfish, and Snapper are typically caught "bottom fishing." Trolling is also a popular means of fishing and as you venture down the coast of the Baja, schools of tuna, yellowtail, dorado (aka: mahi mahi, dolphin fish), and billfish such as Marlin, are often taking by such means. The Sea of Cortez has historically been an extremely productive habitat and fishing is deeply rooted into the history of San Felipe. Address: The Sea of Cortez

by Mandy23 Many people enjoy watching the tides and walking along the beach when it happens and actually, San Felipe is known for it's extreme tidal changes. If the tide goes out, it goes reeaally out. Here's a link for tide calendars During low tide you might wanna watch for stingrays. They are common in the Sea of Cortez. One of our salesmen down there told us that there's such a thing like the "stingray shuffle". It's basically shuffling your feet while walking forward in the water or walk heavy on the sand during low tide, to avoid being stung by those who may just lay on the bottom and are covered by sand. This will reduce the likelihood that you accidentally step on a buried stingray by giving it a chance to escape. Photo: Low tide - you can barely see the waterline on the horizon. And at that time the tide was already coming back, so it was actually out even further. Leave a Comment

by Mandy23 A few miles outside of San Felipe is an area called "Valley of the Giants" or "El Valle de los Gigantes". It got it's name from the huge Cardon cacti growing there between 33 and 56 feet! The website below shows you some photos of these huge cacti: Leave a Comment

 San Felipe lighthouse by mht_in_la At the northern tip of the malecon, there's a small bluff. Walk up to the Virgin of Guadlupe Shrine at the top, and get the 360-degree view. To the north there is a lighthouse, as seen in photo. To the south you can see the whole village and the beach. To the east it's the Sea of Cortez. Leave a Comment

 San Felipe malecon by mht_in_la Before I visited San Felipe I never heard of the term "malecon". I think it means beach promenade, or the major street along the beach. And San Felipe has one. There are many bars and clubs along San Felipe's malecon. From their huge signs and fancy decor I can imagine how wild the beer-drinking crowd can be in spring break time. My visit was in early February, and it was quiet. Behind the fascade the big TV was still showing ESPN, but no Mexicans seemed to care, just waiting for the tourists. Leave a Comment

 Fishing boats by mht_in_la One thing you'll see on the beach of San Felipe is fishing boats. They are small and primitive, but painted with beautiful colors. They become an integral part of San Felipe's beach scenery. Leave a Comment
