About San Felipe
San Felipe began as a sleepy fishing village, barely connected by road toMexicaliover a long, often flooded, mud, or washed-out road. Its fishing roots are still evident in the large commercial harbor south of town frequented by shrimp boats. The Bay of San Felipe is 3 meters above sea level. At low tide, the water can recede as much as 2 km. San Felipe experiences one of the largest tidal bores in the world due in part to the Colorado River delta to the north.

The port of San Felipe is a small town historically dependent on fishing and now on tourism, catering mostly to U.S. travelers and containing an international airport.
