Nostalgia of the good old days?

This is the place for you, the joy of basics. Who does not remember all those good old times, when the village kids were be the first to greet you after your success in your fishing joust! The days when along your walking path toward the pier, people would greet you by your name, and you could remember theirs.

The waters of the Sea of Cortez offer world renowned fishing, snorkeling and diving. Along with over 200 species of tropical fish which are protected within the Cabo Pulmo Marine Park, the fishing outside the park is a fisherman's paradise. Game fish include Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Sailfish, Slapjack, Grouper, Sierra, Pargo, Cabrilla, and Jack Crevalle among many others.

The water temperatures from January to May and October to December range between 65 and 75 degrees. It rises to between 75-85 degrees in June through September for excellent scuba diving and snorkeling. Cabo Pulmo Marine Park boasts the only living Coral Reefs in the Sea of Cortez with eight major fingers of reef starting at the beach and stretching over a mile long.

The marine preserve lies between Los Barracas Bay (north) and Los Frailes Bay (south). Other interesting sites aside from the reef include a sea lion colony, "caves" with different varieties of coral and tropical fish, the shipwreck of an old tuna boat and miles of pristine beaches that make this area a truly beautiful get away!
