Living in San Carlos The Early Years. Since its foundation, the San Carlos Bay population had been integrated mostly by american and canadians citizens (68% of current population are americans and canadians, 4% european and 28% mexican).
The beautiful beaches, the quiet & international atmosphere, the sports & fishing facilities, the beautiful handmade crafts & curios and the spectacular sunsets were good enough reasons for the early visitors to build a house or buy a real estate property in this mexican paradise.
On those early days the RV Parks facilities were enjoyed by 100´s of “snow birds” coming on the winter season from all around US and Canada.
Also dozens of international fishing and sports tournaments had been a excellent source of touristic promotion for the last years.
The beauty of San Carlos had been also an special attraction for the Hollywood motion picture industry as a location site.
Good exemples are Catch 22, Lucky Lady (Liza Minelli, Gene Hackman & Burt Reynolds) and recently The Mask of Zorro (Antonio Banderas, Anthony Hopkins and Catherine Zeta Jones) San Carlos Today.
Currently the town population is calculated in around 1,800, but on spring breaks, winter and summer vacations 1000´s of people enjoy the magic of the San Carlos Bay paradise.
