Puerto San Carlos is located on Magdalena Bay, 40 miles west of Cd. Constitucion. When the tide is high, you will feel like you are on an island because Puerto San Carlos becomes surrounded by water. 150 miles of shoreline, sand beaches and mangroves encircle the bay. A fishing town, Puerto San Carlos' waters are known for the amount and diversity of fish and seafood they produce. Sport fishing is superb throughout the year -- amongst the many species you may catch are cabrilla, grouper, schnook, and halibut. From January through March, grey whales stay in the area and whale watching becomes the main attraction. Puerto San Carlos has all facilities: comfortable hotels, good restaurants, telegraph office, doctors, gas station, post office, ice factory, and bus service.
