San Felipe is a picturesque town facing the beautiful Sea of Cortez and is well-known for its excellent fishing. Jacques Cousteau once called the sea of Cortez the "aquarium of the world" due to its abundant sea life. The famous fish shrimp tacos were in invented right here in San Felipe. The town gained much of its popularity with the invention of the three day weekend. This charming beach-side community is close enough to the U.S. border to make it a long weekend destination, and far enough from the big cities for residents to feel away from it all. San Felipe is an easy two and a half hour drive south of the border (about 120 miles) on a good paved road, and Mexicali continues to build and improve their highways and overpasses tomake it easier to drive here. Mountain views on one side and the beautiful Sea of Cortez on the other.

The road from Mexicali is four lanes for the first 25 miles through the Mexicali suburbs and farmlands, and then it narrows down to two lanes when it reaches the wide open spaces. Shortly after the road turns to two lanes, the unique Baja scenery begins and the stark open Baja frontier is nothing short of spectacular! However, the four lane highways are being built from Mexicali to San Felipe and in San Felipe as far south as Puertocitas. We are a diverse community in San Felipe and sophisticated people from all over the world are moving here.
