January–March: Nature's Greatest Show The Magic:  Witness one of the ocean's most magnificent spectacles as blue whales arrive. Mother whales and their newborn calves glide through the protected waters of Loreto Bay National Park, often so close you can hear their breathing from shore. Perfect Weather for Adventure: Crisp mornings (60-65°F) warming to comfortable afternoons (75-80°F) Zero rainfall and brilliant blue skies Ideal conditions for hiking the ancient trails of Sierra de la Giganta Perfect temperature for exploring the 300-year-old Mission San Javier Local Life:  This is Loreto's social season. The malecón comes alive with evening strolls, waterfront restaurants buzz with conversation, and the community feels most vibrant. It's when longtime residents reconnect and newcomers discover why people never want to leave. Insider tip:  Book whale watching tours early. The best local guides fill up fast during this magical season. April–June: The Sweet Spot Pure Perfection:  Many residents consider this Loreto's most beautiful time. The tourist crowds thin out, revealing the authentic rhythm of local life, while the weather remains ideal. Adventures Await: Sea kayaking in glass-calm waters with visibility extending for miles World-class fishing as species become more active in warming waters Snorkeling and diving in crystal-clear conditions Beach days that stretch into perfect evenings Local Life:  June marks the beginning of sea turtle nesting season on Loreto's pristine beaches. Early morning beach walkers often discover fresh turtle tracks leading from the Sea of Cortez to sandy nesting sites. Local conservation groups organize gentle nighttime watches, and there's something deeply moving about witnessing these ancient creatures continue their timeless ritual in waters that Jacques Cousteau called 'the world's aquarium. Why locals love it:  This is when Loreto feels most like the hidden paradise it truly is. Warm, welcoming, and wonderfully unhurried. July–September: The Peaceful Season A Different Kind of Beautiful:  Summer in Loreto isn't about escaping heat. It's about embracing a slower, more contemplative way of life. Yes, days are warm (85-95°F), but the Sea of Cortez reaches its most inviting temperatures. Summer Pleasures: Dawn fishing expeditions before the day heats up Long, leisurely swims in bathwater-warm seas Afternoon siestas followed by magical sunset dinners Star-gazing from your terrace in the clear desert air Local Rhythm:  This is when you truly understand Mexican time. Mornings start early with coffee and gentle activities. Midday brings peaceful hours indoors or by the pool. Evenings stretch long with cool breezes and unhurried conversations. The Reward:  You'll have Loreto's pristine beaches and hidden coves almost entirely to yourself.

The community comes together in ways that remind you why this place captures hearts so completely.

Article By: Cecilia Fischer Last year so many of you reached out to request assistance for purchase of the Community Supported Agriculture CSA basket. After 7 years of doing this as a volunteer, I needed a break and it was important to let the lead rancher of 12 ranches, Luis Bastida, try out the system on his own. This year both of his kids are out to school so I have agreed to help CSA. This means, I will take request for delivery (because in San Javier there is limited wifi), and with Luis or for Luis I will make deliveries as I use to your doorstep. Starting next Tuesday 29th Oct, with a final request date by this Friday please. To order email:   Ceci.Fischer2023@gmail.com First week there will be: Spinach (from San Javier) Arugula. (from San Javier) Zucchini (from Los Dolores) Russet Potatoes (from ranch close to Pacific) White crystaline onion (which is sweet) - from San Javier Green onion - from San Javier Poblano Pepper (the type used to make chile relleno) - by Pacific. Green cabbage - Los Dolores and by Pacific Green Swiss Chard - San Javier, Los Dolores, and Pacific Orange carrots - San Javier Roma tomatos (salades) - San Javier, Los Dolores and Pacific Squash - like you see on the picture - San Javier, Los Dolores Oranges - San Javier and Pacific Rosemary - San Javier and Loreto Tiny orange similar to Kumquats - San Javier Carmen Island Sea Salt for the 1st delivery - Loreto. As the season continues there will be: kale, different types of citrus, melons, winter squashes, different chiles, cherrie tomatoes, basil (broad leaf) for making pesto, and cured olives (from me as a gift to thank you for supporting the ranchers). If this is the first time you are reading about the local produce grown in Loreto, please make sure to thank your neighbors for helping start the local movement. By being interested in good food we have helped to protect our water, our soil, insects and our food. You can now purchase also fresh items from Ricardo Fuerte, from Jorge Magdaleno, and several other groups. We are honored to have come so far after now 9 years of doing this!
