San Felipe
Baja California, Mexico


San Felipe is a small friendly fishing community of 15,000 - the northern most beach resort community on the West Side of the Sea of Cortez. The 2.5 hour drive south from the Calexico / Mexicali border to San Felipe is filled with diverse scenery - through the colorful business district of Calexico, then vast agricultural farmlands to barren desert framed by rugged mountains. As the road curves towards the Sea of Cortez, salty desert sand transforms into the unbelievable blue green water of the sea - truly a spectacular sight seeming at first to be a mirage of steamy desert sun! San Felipe has gradually transformed from a sleepy fishing village into a popular vacation resort with an International Airport, Nightclubs, Restaurants, Sport-Fishing, Snorkeling, Sailing Cruises and Sightseeing Tours. San Felipe is also home to dirt bike and desert racing enthusiasts - with annual events throughout the year.
