San Felipe is a few steps up from most fishing villages, but is still the destination of choice by those who don't want or need much. About six blocks of sidewalk along the little sea wall and sand are crammed with terrific seafood vendors and shopkeepers selling water toys and t-shirts. Take your pick. San Felipe offers both. Decide if you're a happy camper or must have comfort and convenience.
Great camping is right on the edge of the beach.
Owner Alvaro Diaz tells us that if you arrive on a Friday morning, you have a good chance of getting a beachfront campsite for the weekend. RV hookups are available at no extra cost. Whatever you do, eat downtown on the Malecon. Fish tacos are the specialty. If you must - cheeseburgers and American fare are on the menu at many San Felipe restaurants.
