Guaymas and San Carlos were explored by the Spanish as early as 1535, but were not settled until the 18th century. Today, however, the Mexican shrimp industry and world class fishing are the hallmarks of Guaymas / San Carlos.

San Carlos offers two marinas, an 18-hole golf course, tennis, excellent hotel accommodations, great restaurants, and many clubs for dancing. The lush desert terrain furnishes a unique setting for outdoor activities such as mountain biking or horseback riding, while the Sea of Cortez provides exceptional sports fishing, scuba diving, sailing, and other water sports.
