Visiting San Felipe, Mexico......Risky or Fine?

Posh, huge suites, all brand-new.... on a beach without boundaries filled with shells and sea treasures...would you say San Felipe's Playa Del Paraiso has it all?

 While we kids played in the sand and attempted to identify the parts of dismembered crabs, the parents checked out the suites a bit more carefully.

Ahhhh...all rooms have balconies with views out over the infinity pool to the sea.  And look at the perfect red tiled floor!      Well....Ok, maybe the pool is more exciting.

We walked the streets and checked out all of the rooms at each resort.  We should seriously rewrite the San Felipe chapter in the Lonely Planet Baja Guide.  We finally settled on El Cortez as the best value for the money...and the best location for seeing everything on foot.  Not having to buckle the kids in a car to see the sights is always fine.

The Malecon (pictured above) was just a bit up our private beach.The shops and vendors (especially the carts with fresh food) make the waterfront an exciting spot. 

The best thing about our rooms had to be the purple chair.  It was FINE.  Arden concentrated on the sea life and adopted a crab as his new roommate.    He also fashioned a worthy habitat for his new friend.

So where's the best place to eat in San Felipe?  “Riquisima comida en el restaurante Chuy Place."

Chuy's Place is FINE.  We were serenaded by The Street Tiger and his electric guitar....but regardless...we loved this place so much we had to come back.  If you haven't had a Baja fish taco before, then read this and get one...soon.  They are FINE.

We loved our resort.  Everything was kept so clean...the pools, the beach...

We walked on the beach every night to get to the Malecon.  Fisherman were dragging in their boats loaded with shrimp and huge fish they filleted on the spot for George's fresh seafood restaurant.  We walked in the dark past RV parks and shops and never felt anything but safe.  So what do you think?  Is Saint Phillip Risky or FINE?

Just in case you can't make up your mind, let me borrow your imagination.  Let the peace of your own balcony overlooking an inescapably lovely body of water enter your soul.  Then marvel at the nearby geologic testaments of the area's volcanic past and earth's rupture as the tectonic plates jostled and bullied each other around...and you should be able to sense the true power and beauty of the area.  If not, you'll need to visit for yourself.  Buena suerte!
