Puertecitos, Coastal locality in Ensenada, Mexico
Located 90 kilometers south of San Felipe on the Gulf of California, Puertecitos features several hundred residences distributed across a low hill terrain.
The settlement of Puertecitos began in 1949 when Rafael Orozco established the first permanent residence in this section of the Baja California coast.
The mix of Mexican residents and North American expatriates creates a cross-border community where fishing and coastal activities shape daily life.
Visitors need to secure fuel in San Felipe before traveling to Puertecitos, as local gas supplies remain limited and service stations operate irregularly.
Natural hot springs emerge along the rocky shoreline, requiring visitors to time their access according to tide schedules for the optimal thermal experience.
