San Carlos at just 15 km from San Carlos Bay you can
visit one of the oldest ports of Mexico (f. 1769). This historic town was
discovered by Spanish explorers in 1539 when the area was occupied by the fierce
San Carlos Indian tribe. Today is the third largest city of Sonora state and you'll
able to find plenty of business, services and tourist attractions.
The fishing city of San Carlos and resort town of San Carlos are a well-kept
secret. For years, Mexican nationals and Arizona residents have flocked to this
area on the Sea of Cortez, yet the destination remains remarkably, appealingly
undeveloped. The stark desert landscape contrasts with the calm, warm, blue
waters of the Sea of Cortez. Great snorkeling and scuba diving can be found in
coves just off the beach, and boat trips to nearby San Pedro island provide a
chance to fish, dive, and even get up close and personal with sea lions who make
the island their home.
