San Quintin Homes & Lots and Land For Sale

San Quintin is home to one of the largest bays on the west coast of Baja California. This mostly agricultural town is roughly a four hour drive south of the International border. It is the last coastal tourist town before the main highway heads down and over to the Sea of Cortez.

Boating and fishing are popular here, as is claming. There are no main tourist centers here yet. There are, however, three small motels on the bluffs overlooking the bay, and a very large La Pinta hotel south of town, right on the beach.

A variety of services can be found along the highway running through town, including restaurants, gasoline, two banks and other miscellaneous services.

Because of the relatively close proximity to the U.S. border, several different plans are under way to develop this area for tourists. Waterfront homes, a marina, a golf course, and lots more are on the drawing boards.

San Quintin is often considered the pivotal town where Baja civilization ends and the real Baja begins. Heading south, visitors find the decompression process kicking in more completely, and that 'Baja mode' really begins to take over!
