A great destination all year round
San Felipe, Mexico is more than a vacation destination. It is the perfect place for the informed traveler regardless of age and interests. It is no surprise that in the cold winter months we see thousands of people heading to the warm shores of San Felipe.
Many people consider San Felipe to be a similar destination to Florida. Actually this is only true in certain aspects, such as the fact that there is a large retirement community, as well as people who come looking for the sun and water sports. The biggest aspect of San Felipe that sets it apart from other places is that it is still relatively untouched and uncommercialized. If you’re looking for a destination that has a relaxed pace of life, yet can still provide you with modern luxuries at an affordable price, then there’s no better place.
Located just 125 miles south of the US border, this part of Baja California is famous for its beautiful weather year-round. During the winter, the temperature never drops to an uncomfortable level. Every day is warm and sunny. In the summer the humidity increases, although the breeze from the Sea of Cortez allows the climate to remain pleasant and tolerable.
If you love to fish then San Felipe will be like paradise. There is ample opportunity to participate in sport fishing tours where game fish can be landed. Of course there are also other activities available such as surfing, sailing or just spending the day lounging on one of the beautiful golden beaches that abound in the area.
Although originally a commercial fishing port, today it is the tourism and retirement sectors that generate the most income. There has also been a ripple effect in the real estate market. Although the city itself only has a population of twenty-five thousand, up to a quarter of a million American and Canadian visitors arrive annually.
The busiest times are during the holiday season, especially in the winter months, when the weather turns worse in the US and Canada. School holidays can also cause problems finding accommodation. If you want to stay away from the crowds, plan your trip for late summer. There are a variety of accommodations you can choose from, including villas, motels, hotels, campgrounds, and long-term options such as time-share apartments. Whatever your budget, you can find luxury accommodation.
