If you are thinking about a road trip to Mexico for Memorial Day but want to avoid the overcrowded beaches of some of the most popular destinations, then read on. All within an easy day's drive from the U.S. border, these beach towns are some of Northern Mexico's best-kept secrets. All you need is a full tank of gas and Mexican auto insurance, and you are set to explore some of the best beaches in Mexico.

San Felipe, Baja California

This little seaside gem is located just 125 miles south of the U.S. border on the Baja Peninsula. Since it is located in a desert, San Felipe enjoys beautiful sunny days almost every day of the year. It is located on Sea of Cortez and enjoys a warm, dry climate in the winter and a Florida like summer. San Felipe is completely set up to accommodate visitors, with condo's, hotels, and international restaurants. However, with a population averaging only 25,000 people, it maintains a small town feel. Activities include fishing, swimming, sea kayaking, and sailing. Off-road enthusiast will love the miles of open sand dunes, perfect for dune buggies, ATV's, sand rails and dirt bikes.

Bahía de Los Angeles, Baja

California Known as one of the most beautiful bays in Mexico, the Bahía de Los Angeles is located 405 miles south of Tijuana and the U.S. border, on the Baja Peninsula. The incredible beauty of this area makes the extra drive worth it. The Bahía is home to a calm and peaceful sea, sheltered by the Isla de Angel de la Guarda, or Guardian Angel Island. Although defiantly off the beaten path, the Bahía de Los Angeles does have all the amenities a tourist requires, with hotels, restaurants, RV parks and even a medical clinic. The main activities here are fishing and taking it easy.

Bahía de Kino, Sonora

If you are looking for white sand beaches and turquoise gentle waters, then the Bahía de Kino in Sonora will make an excellent holiday destination for you. Located just 225 miles south of the Arizona/U.S. border, Bahía de Kino has everything a traveler could want. Hotels, condominiums and RV parks are all available along with a selection of wonderful restaurants. Activities here include fishing, swimming, snorkeling and diving. Water visibility around the nearby Isla Tiburon is incredibly clear, giving divers and snorkelers alike an experience not unlike diving in a tropical fish aquarium. During the week visitors here have the beach virtually to themselves, making this a great destination for those looking to get away from it all.

San Carlos, Sonora

Another gem on the Sea of Cortez, San Carlos is a little livelier than the Bahía de Kino. Located just 250 miles from the Arizona border, drivers can easily reach San Carlos in an afternoon. San Carlos offers beautiful white sandy beaches and a wide array of water activities. Diving, snorkeling and fishing are popular here. There is even a golf course and tennis courts for those who prefer land activities. Wonderful hotels and restaurants are available in many budget ranges, making it an excellent choice for those on a budget, as well as affording the opportunity to indulge in some serious luxury.
