The malecón is San Felipe's social centre, a compact waterfront strip of taco stands, bars, souvenir shops, fishing boats, and families out for the evening air. It is the place to start, especially near sunset when the light drops across the bay and the town gets its easy promenade rhythm.
Come hungry. San Felipe argues that the Baja fish taco was born here, and the best version of town is found with a paper plate in hand, not at a formal table.
