"Before you decide to become permanent, you should experience August or September. It is not for everyone; it's much hotter than areas further south due to the huge area of desert north of it (all of S Ariz, E Calif and N Baja)."

Good advice - the humidity is high in these months - last of July all of Aug and first half of Sept making it uncomfortable.

The temperatures here in San Felipe are about 15 deg COOLER than Yuma, Mexicali or El Centro. (or Phoenix or Los Vegas for that mater) due to the Sea of Cortez.

This spring has been unusually cool - by about 10-15 deg I think. But rest assured it will again warm up.

Of course no mater where you live, you want to go somewhere else for a vacation. Soo many of us do that in these months. Visit family, friends, take that long scenic trip, etc. Come back when it's just the best weather ever!!!

A poker run takes a vehicle and some luck.

stay away ...this place is a dump!


San Felipe has much to offer. It?s a lazy drive from the border, less than two hours. Mexicalli offers all the major shopping that one may need as you drive through to San Felipe, you will not find the Super stores in this town. No Malls. No freeway jams. The restaurants are more than good (in general speaking) with pricing that fits any budget. There are a few late nightspots for the loud and brave. We enjoy the offerings of a plant nursery, cyber shop, bakeries (great stuff), laundry?.. well just about everything you need to be comfee in a small town setting. Medical services are rendered also. I have found the police and Military units to be extremely pleasant?never a problem I have had. The town folks are extremely friendly to me each time I get there. That really goes for most folks there. . And so far?no marooons. Housing cost in San Felipe are very affordable?.so far. We have decided to build our own home (in a month from now), rather than buy an existing one. The beach lots that are available are still a very good deal (cost wise) as far I am concerned. As all the wise men and women have written in this forum?.do not afford what you can not loose. Do you homework before buying in?or leasing. There?s also numerous camping sites?most are great. I have found that I can live in San Felipe with more than what I need. We are looking forward to explore Baja for the next 30 years. We will be at Campos Octillio on May 8 for a few weeks?.stop by for the 10 cent tour of town.
