Beach at San Carlos

Guaymas is a mid-sized seaport on the east shore of the Gulf of California in Mexico. It lies about four hours south of the border-crossing at Nogales Arizona/Nogales Mexico. Just north of Guaymas is a resort town called San Carlos, where we spent most of our time. San Carlos is a playground for many Americans who spend time at the marina or the resort hotels.
