San Felipe – Baja California’s Coastal Gem: A Warm-Climate Fishing Town on the Sea of Cortez

Just two hours by land from Mexicali, is San Felipe, Baja California, a warm climate town that extends from Punta El Machorro to Punta Estrella, on the shores of the Sea of Cortés and in the middle of the imposing desert.

 

San Felipe is a fishing village, blessed by a riverbed that gives off a gentle swell at dawn and seems to trace the path of the sea. Thus, the boats leave early to do their job, while travelers stop to watch the almost unusual growth of the water, which ends at dusk.

 

From the Cerro de la Virgen, it seems that the image watches over along with the Faro de San Felipe every maritime feat, every human body that enters its saline body and comes out as if it were bathed by the rays of the sun and painted with sand. Diving into its bays, reminds one of the placid days of childhood in the pool, but with the gratification that this pool is infinite.

 

On the Malecón, one of the main tourist spots in San Felipe Baja California, music combines with the sound of the waves. Some decide to sunbathe and forget about time and routine. Families play games with the little ones, while the youngsters enjoy the scenery or decide to go into one of the bars with the promise of a long night.

 

Thus, between the calm of an almost pristine destination, the coexistence of visitors and the gastronomic offer will make your visit more than you expected.
