I can't believe no one has brought up gringo clamming is illegal or
the Iguana yet! ( . Y . ) David K - 10-4-2020 at 08:39 PM
I did, but after JZ's reply I edited that away so he wouldn't have too much negativity for a new Nomad!AKgringo - 10-4-2020 at 08:55 PM
The "new Nomad" registered in 2011. I was going to mention the restrictions on clamming, but you beat me to it while I was still reading. I wouldn't
delete information that could save someone from potential trouble!TMW - 10-5-2020 at 12:24 AM
It may be illegal but I doubt anyone is going to arrest you or give you a ticket. We were camping at El Pabellon south of San Quintin and the guy
running the campground gave us rakes and shovels to clam with. This was several years ago so things may have changed.
The best thing about San Felipe is the fish tacos,the Miramar bar and all the places to explore. BajaBlanca - 10-5-2020 at 01:42 AM
TMW is so right! The fish tacos are legendary.
I only went once, probably in 87ish and we ate SO MANY fish tacos. At the time they were 3 for one buck!
I remember wading out and out and out because the water was so shallow.
I remember Brazilian music blaring on outside speakers - it was when lambada hit the scene.
I also remember we got margarita's somewhere...really good ones.
I also recall the drive over from 1 was so desolate...we did not know how long a ride it was and did not have water or food. Ahhhh, the innocence of
youth!BajaBlanca - 10-5-2020 at 01:47 AM
What a cool web site! Looks like the town definitely changed from when I went! I think there was one smallish hotel in town and that was all we saw.
So many activities now. Congrats of promoting your neck of the woods!! Made me want to go!dtbushpilot - 10-5-2020 at 09:00 AM
The thing I like most about San Felipe is seeing it in my rearview mirror...David K - 10-5-2020 at 09:41 AM
San Felipe for me is a place for fuel and fish tacos, then we are on our way south of there. I have seen it change from 1965 to 2019... from a village
to a small city but it has never been an ugly experience just a part of the journey.bajaric - 10-5-2020 at 10:31 AM
San Felipe is a gateway to Baja for many people.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I do not think San Felipe is known for its sunsets over the ocean -- JZ - 10-5-2020 at 11:51 AM

Haha
My teenagers think it is full of "desert rats." Ppl who come down for a quick weekend, to ride and party. Not real Baja.

This has come up before, but I will repeat myself. I have never spent more than one night at a time around San Felipe, but if there was a reason or a
good opportunity occurs to spend a couple of weeks there, I am sure I would find things to like!
It would sure beat rainy season in NorCal!David K - 10-5-2020 at 02:49 PM
If the noise of a city gets to you, just 30 minutes away you can have miles of beach all to yourself (access road is Km. 26 & 4WD, at low tide)!
July 4th weekend 2010 with 'edm1' and Ken Cooke camping with us.ehall - 10-6-2020 at 08:23 AM
HaHa. A lot of you guys are way too picky. I love San Felipe. Great food, lots of desert exploring to do. Lots of hotel choices. Beach. what else do
you want?ehall - 10-6-2020 at 08:25 AM
Also a great place to practice riding sand whoops on your dirt bike if you are a good enough rider.advrider - 10-6-2020 at 02:50 PM
I'm with ehall, the wife and I like the place. We've spent several days at a time there. The sand whoops are some of the hardest I've ridden, or maybe
I wasn't fast enough to get on top of them? Talk about arm pump, first beer I had to drink with a straw because I couldn't hold it! PaulW - 10-6-2020 at 04:14 PM

I am much older than anyone here but does anyone remember when “cornhole” had a completely different meaning?
or
the Iguana yet! ( . Y . )
