Destination
San Carlos, made easy
5 minutes from Playa San Francisco, with quick access to Blvd. Tetakawi, shops, restaurants and Hospital San José.
Jacques Cousteau called the Sea of Cortez «the world aquarium», and Tetakawi peak — two horns of rock over 200 metres tall — closes the bay. The desert climate makes the sea usable almost year-round.
Unforgettable days await.
What to do
San Carlos, in a weekend or in a lifetime
Playa San Francisco
San Carlos' family beach: wide, calm water, with boats, kayaks and restaurants. It sits 700 metres from Evamar, about a five-minute walk.
Tetakawi Peak
The twin-horned peak that closes the bay and gives San Carlos its silhouette. It's a hike up, and the whole coast opens from the top.
Diving and San Pedro Nolasco Island
Two artificial reefs, a sunken ferry and, a few miles out, a sea lion sanctuary. Jacques Cousteau called the Sea of Cortez «the world's aquarium».
The sunset
National Geographic singled out San Carlos as one of the places with the most beautiful sunset in the world. You can watch it from the pool.
Sport fishing and marina
San Carlos' marina is home to the Sea of Cortez sport fishing fleet: marlin, mahi-mahi, sailfish, depending on the season.
Dunes and sandboarding
North of the bay there are white sand dunes with Tetakawi behind them — one of Sonora's postcards.
Logistics
Getting here and getting around
By car
The most convenient option: rent one at Hermosillo airport or in Guaymas. Coming in from Guaymas or Hermosillo, turn right at the first Oxxo; 450 metres on, on the left, are the Evamar letters. Parking is free, with one assigned space per condo.
Without a car
Local taxis are available at the marina and the beach area (agree on the fare first). Ride-hailing apps have limited coverage in San Carlos. Evamar offers a beach shuttle and lends bicycles and kayaks.
