Haven't been to San Felipe in some time but they use to keep the malecon clean but the pictures here make for a different story now. What a shame
just not cool for anyone like that.
Note, when I was down in La Paz last year the malecon was very clean, easy going people walking,laughing day and night without any incidents that I
could see. So, somebody must be picking up that trash or making sure you aren't throwing it on the ground. I just love walking on the malecons and
enjoying watching & listening to others they enjoy it too. Hope, San Felipe gets it together and gets the malecon cleaned up before I take my
buddy down there in a couple of weeks.
My buddy retired a few years agon and now insists he needs to to re-visit San Felipe since he hasn't been there since got out of the service too many
years ago to count,LOL. Take Care&Travel Safe---"No Hurry, No Worry, Just FUN" bajafun777

With so many miles of awesome beach beginning just south of San Felipe, why would ANYONE go to a beach in front of a big town or city?
Photo taken this year, just 20 miles (1/2 hour) from San Felipe:

Obviously just after some event - Tecate and other tents still set up - not you're everyday situation. And a guy sweeping.

Wow-we were going to take fam o/n the first week of Dec. May have to rethink this, especially if there are no restaurants open.

bajalou, I was hoping that was the case and not the new dirty look for the malecon. DavidK, sometimes you have to do the downtown thing, especially
when the urge to sit at a cantina hits along with looking for what local eatery is offering. The beach is great but again sometimes--------LOL.

They have actually been doing a decent job of keeping it cleaned up lately. As for the restaurants there are still plenty to choose from. There have
been a couple of new ones open up. Whether they make it or not, time will tell. Plus starting after the shrimp festival the Melecon is suppose to be
reconstructed.
A lot of the roads have been redone, just not the ones you are likely to be driving on.

I have been to the Club Miramar more than once in my years... In fact, the Miramar was my first 'legal' entering and drinking at a bar experience,
when I was 18... when the first SCORE Baja 1000 went through, Nov. 1975.

Need to tell him that it's better to be pi**ed on if you're a malecon, than to be pi**ed off if you're the govenor.

Cool, I was there for that
race... camped at Club de Pesca. One of the Check points was at the south end of town. The ABC camera crew had hired little Mexican kids to throw
chickens in front of the racers as they pulled into the checkpoint so it looked like they were in a really rural area

I once walked across into Mex from Guatemala, bussed
up to TJ, stopping at many seaside towns/cities, La Paz's
is as pretty and comfortable as I ran across. Never seen
sunsets like LP. And I like SF, and as Bajalou points out
that pic of trash and tents is after one of the events,
race, shrimp festival, etc. That in no way is typical of
the SF malecon, actually quite the opposite. I'm old enough
to remember when trash in the US in public places
was not as much a priority as it is now

Too funny... just like with political stories, altering the facts to make it look the way you want it to!
We watched the racers heading south at Valle de Trinidad (where they turned towards the Pacific for the run down to Punta Prieta area), then went to
San Felipe (Miramar Bar), then down to the Sulfur Mine to watch them northbound, heading back to Ensenada. We camped the rest of the weekend at Nuevo
Mazatlan.

See more what? Haven't seen the Spring breakers in
SF for 4-5 yrs I think they were scared off by
current events, real or imagined

DK, A couple yrs ago I was on the Annual Sand Dollar hunt
in front of Percebu, minus tide, far enough out with
a sand berm in between, so the houses were not visible, very
tranquil, quiet not a sound, I see why you hunker down
there
