Playa Blanca Beachfront Condominiums

Playa Blanca Beachfront Condominiums is the premiere condo resort in San Carlos, Sonora, a destination which is truly an undiscovered treasure of Northern Mexico. Before anyone purchases a vacation home or condominium , they need to be sold on the location. That’s why it is important to touch upon why we feel San Carlos is so special. After all, there are plenty of beautiful beachfront resorts in Mexico… so why consider visiting us in San Carlos? Why is this destination different than the others that can be found along the beach throughout Mexico? Of course you’ll find that swimming in the clear blue waters and relaxing on beautiful sand beaches will allure you. If you are a golfer, there’s a very nice and affordable 18-hole public course in town where memberships are available but not required (and you can actually play without a collared shirt). If you are a sailor there’s not just one, but 2 full service marinas in the area with over 600 slips as well as ample dry storage. If you are a sport fisherman who charters a vessel from one of the many operators in town you’ll soon see why these waters in the Sea of Cortes are famous for abundant catches of marlin, sailfish, dorado, tuna, red snapper, yellow tail and grouper. If you are a pleasure boater you can watch dolphins dance with the whales, which can be found in our waters throughout most of the year.

If you are a diver, the waters have visibility of up to 90’ during the summer months. If you are a kite-surfer you’ll catch some of the best wind around from November through March in some of the popular kite areas of San Carlos.  If you are a snorkeler you can see tropical fish along the shoreline or go swimming with the seals at San Pedro Island which is located 15 miles offshore.

If you are a kayaker you can navigate the myriad of caves and coves along the coast. If you are a hiker or a mountain biker the Sierra Madres Mountains which reach down and touch the sea will be your playground.

The San Carlos Difference

But most of all what sets San Carlos apart from other beautiful locations in Mexico is the town itself. It really is the type of place that you’ll fall in love with on your first visit. I can’t tell you how many people I’ve met who have traveled extensively in Mexico, and then “happened” upon San Carlos and have ended up calling it their home. The best description of San Carlos I’ve ever heard was when a friend of mine who once described it as “Mayberry with an Ocean”. A small town with populated with only 8,000 people San Carlos certainly fits that depiction. San Carlos is… in fact…..as laid back and safe of a Mexican beach town destination that one can imagine. The only “attitudes “you’ll see in this town are positive and friendly. Pretentious is a word that doesn’t exist in the local vocabulary let alone in actions of the locals and their neighbors from north of the border that you’ll meet here. There is one main street (with no stoplights) which is dotted with bars, dive shops, grocery stores, curio stores and restaurants.
