San Felipe, Baja California
This little seaside gem is located just 125 miles south of the U.S. border on the Baja Peninsula. Since it is located in a desert, San Felipe enjoys beautiful sunny days almost every day of the year. It is located on Sea of Cortez and enjoys a warm, dry climate in the winter and a Florida like summer. San Felipe is completely set up to accommodate visitors, with condo's, hotels, and international restaurants. However, with a population averaging only 25,000 people, it maintains a small town feel. Activities include fishing, swimming, sea kayaking, and sailing. Off-road enthusiast will love the miles of open sand dunes, perfect for dune buggies, ATV's, sand rails and dirt bikes.
Baha de Los Angeles, Baja
California Known as one of the most beautiful bays in Mexico, the Baha de Los Angeles is located 405 miles south of Tijuana and the U.S. border, on the Baja Peninsula. The incredible beauty of this area makes the extra drive worth it. The Baha is home to a calm and peaceful sea, sheltered by the Isla de Angel de la Guarda, or Guardian Angel Island. Although defiantly off the beaten path, the Baha de Los Angeles does have all the amenities a tourist requires, with hotels, restaurants, RV parks and even a medical clinic. The main activities here are fishing and taking it easy.
Baha de Kino, Sonora
If you are looking for white sand beaches and turquoise gentle waters, then the Baha de Kino in Sonora will make an excellent holiday destination for you. Located just 225 miles south of the Arizona/U.S. border, Baha de Kino has everything a traveler could want. Hotels, condominiums and RV parks are all available along with a selection of wonderful restaurants. Activities here include fishing, swimming, snorkeling and diving. Water visibility around the nearby Isla Tiburon is incredibly clear, giving divers and snorkelers alike an experience not unlike diving in a tropical fish aquarium. During the week visitors here have the beach virtually to themselves, making this a great destination for those looking to get away from it all.
San Carlos, Sonora
Another gem on the Sea of Cortez, San Carlos is a little livelier than the Baha de Kino. Located just 250 miles from the Arizona border, drivers can easily reach San Carlos in an afternoon. San Carlos offers beautiful white sandy beaches and a wide array of water activities. Diving, snorkeling and fishing are popular here.
