Our readers are always asking about what there is to do in Rocky Point.
From Sandy:
We will be coming mid December and staying for a couple of months. What is there to do and see while we are there? The first week we will have family with little children, so need to entertain them. We are staying in Las Conchas on the beach and wonder how far it is from the town.
Answer:
Mid December will provide you with nice sunny warm days but the evenings do cool off, so bring light jackets. During the time when you have the little ones here, you can take them to the tide pools when the tide is out and let them explore. They will enjoy getting sea shells as well as maybe finding a baby octopus in those tide pools. You can also take them to the aquarium which is located behind Capone’s on Sinaloa Blvd. They will also have a learning experience if you take them to CEDO which is located in Las Conchas. Here they will be able to see a full size skeleton of a whale. There is also a gift shop with some great books on the area. Another thing you can do with the children as well as adults is go back north of town to visit the Pinacate Volcano Visit Center. Here you can watch a movie about the area and they are interactive things to view inside the center.
Now for the adults. Rocky Point has 3 golf courses for those golfers. One at Las Palomas, one at the Isla Del Mar and one at the Mayan Palace. All of these will provide a challenge. The course at the Mayan has several holes that parallel the Sea of Cortez. If you have people that love to fish, there is no better place than in the Sea of Cortez. There are several fishing charters that will take them out and everything is included in the charge. One of pour favorites is the Pancho Villa,which is a family owned cabin cruiser. This time of year, depending on how far you go out or for how long you want to go, they will catch Grouper, Red Snapper, Trigger fish (which are not huge) but do put up a fight, just to name few. The crew will clean and fillet them for you to have at your beach front home.
For the ladies, there is great shopping on Rodeo Drive. here you will find Fabiloa’s Beach Apparel and accessories, Su Casa (gifts for the home) as well as many shops caring items made in Mexico such as Talavera pottery. A must place to shop is Mercedes Rusticos located on the hill as you are coming out of the Malecon and across from the Friendly Dolphin. Here you can purchase complete sets of dishes made in Mexico as well as other glasses and other things for the home. Check out the Blue Marlin for the best coconut shrimp around. They can also hang out at the Boo Bar, which is located above the shrimp market. Sit out under the big palapa and take in the sunsets. You will find plenty to keep you occupied.
Come out and join the fun while enjoying the beautiful weather in Puerto Peñasco and the stunning Sea of Cortez views. Remember Rocky Point is only a 4 hour drive from Phoenix or Tucson.
