El Morro Subdivision is a low-density, eco-friendly residential development located directly on the ocean. It is a gated community with controlled access, a shared community pier, private airstrip, ecological trails, strict internal regulations, and 24/7 security. Legally established in 1994, it sits in the heart of Bahía San Quintín, Baja California. Its privileged location borders the 803-hectare protected natural reserve known as “Monte Ceniza” and “Punta Mazo,” managed by Terra Peninsular A.C. since 2017. This guarantees that the surrounding ecosystems and wildlife will remain preserved for all El Morro residents.
