San Felipe is a remote desert community enjoying the benefits of a warm, dry, winter climate, and a warm, humid (Florida-like) summer. The Sea of Cortez is one of the world's most prolific salt-water habitats. The town of San Felipe is laidback, with a variety of restaurants and bars ideal for relaxing while taking in the endless views of the typically aqua blue waters of the Sea of Cortez.

The temperatures of both the land and the sea off of San Felipe are quite different than on the Pacific side of the Baja peninsula. The Sea of Cortez feels more like the Atlantic Ocean in Florida than anything on the West Coast. The calm, tranquil sea is warm and inviting, with an average temperature of 75 degrees F, ranging from 65 degrees F in winter to 85 degrees F in summer. Yet the terrain of San Felipe is very much a desert, with temperatures averaging from 70 degrees to 90 degrees F for most of the year.

San Felipe offers a spectacular panorama of mountain, sea, and desert-scapes, with sand dunes, tide pools, cactus and other desert flora. Wildlife also abounds, from sea lions, dolphins, sea turtles and a stunning array of birds and other sea life to jack rabbits, coyotes and other animals that typically call the desert home.
