Unquestionably the premier destination on the east coast of the Sea of Cortez in Baja is San Felipe. El Dorado Ranch is located around the city of San Felipe in Baja California Norte. It is about 120 miles south of the border. El Dorado Ranch, with its Beach and Tennis Club and an 18 hole championship golf course, is 7 miles north of town while the original ranch itself, at 200,000 acres, surrounds the town.

Though sleepy, in comparison to its west coast counterparts, San Felipe has been a secret destination to those in the know. Activities for tourists are many and varied. They include world-class fishing, boating, hiking, swimming, wind surfing, sailing, scuba diving, parasailing, and dune buggy trips, with restaurants and nightclubs for evening enjoyment.

El Dorado Ranch runs along Mexican Highway 5 approximately 6 miles north of San Felipe. It ranges approximately 12 miles to the west, adjacent the Sierra San Felipe Recreational Desert Preserve. El Dorado Ranch is part of the upper Sonoran Desert complex, which is the most biodiverse desert complex in the world, with more animal, plant and sea life than any other desert complex in the world. It is adjacent to the Upper Gulf of California Biosphere Reserve which is run by the Unesco Natural Biosphere Reserves Program.

To the west of the Ranch, within easy travel distance, are the Sierra San Pedro Martir. These mountains provide a dramatically different landscape, and topography from that of the Ranch. Picacho Diablo, the highest mountain in the Baja, rising to over 10,000 feet, is only 30 miles west of the El Dorado Beach and Tennis Club. The mountains offer pine forests, waterfalls, hot springs, ancient Native American sites, as well as mountain lions, bobcats, coyotes and Big Horn sheep.
