Our Story
San Felipe Living was founded in 2004 as a community resource for visitors and residents of San Felipe, Baja California, Mexico. What started as a simple information site with forums and event listings grew into a comprehensive guide covering travel, real estate, dining, activities, and everything you need to know about this special town on the Sea of Cortez.
Over the years, we've connected thousands of travelers with the information they need to plan their San Felipe adventure, helped expats navigate the process of making San Felipe home, and built a community of people who share a love for this unique corner of Baja California.
Why San Felipe?
San Felipe is more than a beach town. It's a place where the vast Sonoran Desert meets the warm waters of the Sea of Cortez, creating landscapes and experiences found nowhere else on Earth. The dramatic tides, the giant cardon cacti of the Valley of the Giants, the fresh shrimp pulled from the sea each morning, the spectacular sunsets over the malecon — San Felipe has a magic that draws people back year after year.
We believe that the best way to experience San Felipe is with good information and an open heart. Whether you're driving down for a weekend, spending the winter, or considering making it your permanent home, we're here to help you make the most of your time in this beautiful place.
