As summer days lead into fall nights, the magic of the hottest season can be extended by at least a month or two with a visit to our coastal village of Rocky Point, Mexico. Offering sunny days, easy vibes, and all the comforts of home in our FMI Rentals seasonal sanctuaries, visitors will be able to experience an authentic “taste” of Rocky Point when attending the following fall events. This guide to the top fall events in Rocky Point will help you get to know, and fall in love, with the region even better.

Celebration of Mexican Independence Day, September 16

Although the celebrations may not reach the heights of an American Independence Day celebration, we can promise that your vacation will be enhanced when you attend any of the local festivities taking place on this very important day. Check out the local hot spots for drink specials and live music and raise a toast to a country which still enjoys mariachi music, fireworks on the beach, and all the tequila you can drink!

The Final Phase (Phase III) of the Angler of the Year Tournament

The Angler of the Year Tournament is a event that accepts all who want to join. Taking place in three parts—October is when the last phase takes place—shoreline fishermen and women have the opportunity to win big prizes. JJ’s Cantina hosts a party for competitors, offering refreshing drinks, great food, and of course, live music that will encourage participants to dance the night away.

Mermaid Arts & Crafts Market in October

For over 10 years, the Mermaid Arts & Crafts Market has popped up on the horizon of Rocky Point, with the mermaids actually being artisans and artists, who create masterpieces for travelers to purchase. The best souvenirs can be the pieces of art that speak to your soul and if you’re looking for a gift for your dog walker/plant waterer/mail gatherer, a visit to this arts & crafts market can be the perfect place to start.

Dia de Los Muertos figurinesDia de Los Muertos, November 1 & 2

Perhaps one of the most popular fall events in Rocky Point in Mexico is Dia de los Muertos which takes place after the festivities of Halloween has ended. Honoring the time when the veil between the living and the undead is the thinnest, La Catrina is the patron saint of the holiday which is celebrated with costume contests, skull caricatures, parades, and so much more.

When your thoughts turn to beach vacations in the spring, we at FMI Rentals want to encourage you to take a look in our direction and to start planning a spring getaway to our favorite coastal village of Rocky Point. Offering days that are warm without being too hot, blue skies, and the clear waters of the Sea of Cortez, every adventure will be one that you never forget, offering excitement, fun, and comfort—especially when you choose our seasonal sanctuaries to come home to every night. This guide to the top spring events in Rocky Point will give you additional reasons to bring your journey home to FMI Rentals.

St. Patrick’s Day, March 17

Even though spring doesn’t begin for a few more days, the weather is still beautiful, and your March visit to Rocky Point will shine brighter, maybe due to all the green beer you drink during your stay! Slip into your green flip flops, dress in your favorite emerald hued swimsuit, and make your way to any of the local nightspots for a night where the wearing of a green is made more fun by the sipping of the margaritas! Manny’s Beach Club and Wrecked at the Reef are two popular spots where your celebrations will become legendary.

Manny’s Beach Club Country Bash, March 21-24

Manny’s Beach Club is one of the old guard in night spots in Rocky Point, known for its dedication to keeping its stretch of beachfront land pristine, as being the place to party in town, and on March 21 through March 24, for being the site of Manny’s Beach Club Country Bash. Grab your favorite cowboy hat but maybe trade in your favorite cowboy boots for colorful flip flops and dance to you drop over three days of music and fun.

Celebrate Spring Break in April

Although many of our Western states begin their Spring Break in March, the eastern ones often find themselves looking for some place to go for their April Spring Break, and Rocky Point can be the perfect destination. April is one of our favorite months of the year, bringing with it warm days, pleasant nights, and very little of the humidity that is a common occurrence in the summer months and when you choose to celebrate your Spring Break with us, we can promise there will be plenty to do. Shopping for souvenirs, dancing the nights away, and reveling in the freedom from work and school during the most beautiful time of the year are just some ways you can fill your Spring Break moments during your Rocky Point getaway.

Spring Events in our Rocky Point on Cinco de Mayo, May 5

Celebrating our victory over France in a battle that took place in 1862, today Cinco de Mayo (obviously held on the 5th of May) has become more of an American celebrated holiday but is still observed in our beautiful coastal town. Check out the tequila specials offered by the Tequila Factory, devour local tacos at Lucky’s Cantina, and when you are ready to close the party down for the night, know that our FMI Rentals seasonal sanctuaries will be waiting to welcome you home.

SOB (South of the Border) Songwriter’s Festival, May 6-11

This live music venue celebrates the heroes behind the music, the songwriters that put the words in your favorite performers mouths. Offering a week of cold drinks, tasty foods, and the hottest movies in town, this special festival holds a big part of our hearts and is an event that returns every year.

Memorial Day Weekend, May 24th through May 27th

Memorial Day is an all-American holiday that will be enjoyed even more when you cross the border and head to the beaches of Rocky Point. Inviting visitors to spend as much time as they can at the beach working on your tan, holding barbecues in the backyards of our FMI Rentals, and although there probably won’t be any Memorial Day sales in town, the naturally low prices found in local shops and boutiques will still encourage you to bring home gifts for everyone you know.

Circus Mexicus, June 8 and 9th

Spring starts in March and lasts through June and as you celebrate the final days of the season, you may want to make your way to Circus Mexicus, a two-day long music festival you will never forget. Sing along to the songs you know every word of purchase swag to bring home for your family, and let the music soothe places in your soul you never knew were frazzled, tired, and in need of some serious positive energy. Circus Mexicus promises to be one adventure of many that you will wish never had to come to an end!

We have often wondered why the creators of Valentine’s Day chose February, the coldest and darkest month, for the most romantic holiday of the year. We have heard that it was to honor two different men with the last name of Valentine that were executed on February 14th and we have also heard that it was simply a holiday that greeting card companies created to sell more cards. Whichever is true, if the cold is getting a little tiring and you feel the need to offer your Valentine warmth, sunshine, and a little salt air therapy, this guide to the most romantic Valentine’s Day events and activities in Rocky Point, Mexico and a stay in our FMI Rentals cozy love nests will ensure that your special human understands how deep your love for them really is!

Mimosas and Muffins

When was the last time you served your sweetheart breakfast in bed? It’s a tradition that is often scoffed at, but it has become a tradition because it really works! Let your favorite Valentine sleep in a little later, quietly slipping out of bed and making your way to the fully equipped kitchen that you stocked with all the ingredients needed for Mimosas and muffins and give her (or him!) a treat that will never be forgotten. If cooking is your strong point, take the meal to the next level, creating a breakfast feast that will be the most fabulous start of a day filled with love and adventure.

Get Handy with Her

A couple’s massage may be something you have never before considered which makes your Rocky Point getaway the perfect time to try something new. La Bella Spa, located at C. Manuel Arista 70, Benito Juarez, has been providing spa treatments, including romantic couples massages for over 7 years and offers the most talented hands in the area! Candlelight and aromatic flowers enhance this special activity, bringing you closer as a couple than you ever imagined possible.

Dulces para tu Dulce (Sweets for your Sweet!)

You really didn’t expect to get away with no chocolate on Valentine’s Day, did you? Next to seeing the love sparkling in your Valentine’s eyes, it is the best part of the holiday and we absolutely love our candy down here, ensuring that there will be many places you can go to pick up something yummy. Dulceria Lupita, located at Boulevard Benito Juárez SN, Centro, offers aisles filled with the sweetest of treats and the opportunity to explore the south of the border candies that we really love. Best of all, if you find yourself craving the new candies you tried in Mexico, many stores in the US are offering international selections, so you won’t have to return to Rocky Point every week for a refill! (Unless you really want to, of course)

Sunset Walk on the Beach

With temperatures tiptoeing into the 70s, you may want to plan an afternoon at the beach, soaking in the rays of the sun, walking along shore’s edge feeling the waves tickle your feet and ankles as you stroll hand in hand with the person that makes you smile the hardest, perhaps taking a few selfies together to ensure that your snow bound friends and family back home understand that you are in paradise! Even if it is too chilly to swim, however, you should plan at least one sunset walk along those sandy shores, stopping in awe as the sky turns all the fiery hues, and maybe even applauding as it dips into the sea. Want to make this adventure even more spectacular? Many local stables offer horseback riding experiences that take you along the beach at sunset! El Establo Ranch, Av. Plutarco Elías Calles 196, Bella Vista, is one of the more popular stables, so be sure and check them out.

A Meal to Remember

And finally, as the day draws to a close, your stomachs will remind you of the importance of food while your hearts will remind you that meals can be romantic too, especially as you enjoy a Mexican Feast at La Casa Del Capitan, Av Camino del Agua s/n, El Puerto. Offering a beachfront patio that ensures you never have to be out of sight of the Sea of Cortez as well as serving the best margaritas in town, their menu filled with the best of land and sea will never cease to amaze.

The Magic of Our Love Nests

There is no love story as magical as your own and our FMI Rentals holiday love nests provide an idyllic backdrop that will become an integral part of that story. Comfortable, luxurious, and with many located on the golden sand beaches of Rocky Point, your every adventure at home will be ones filled with love and happiness. Reserve your favorite escape today!

Every winter is different for every person experiencing it, but if your winter doesn’t involve sunny skies, ocean waves, and having your toes buried in the sand, would you like it to be? A winter vacation spent devouring tacos and gulping tequila, watching the sun rise over the horizon every morning and then watching it set again each evening. If beach days and tequila nights appeals to you, now is the perfect time to start planning a winter getaway to the golden sands of Rocky Point (Puerta Peñasco, if you want to call it by its proper Mexican name!) in Mexico, leaving the cold and snow of your own hometown, if only for a few days. Making this once in a lifetime adventure even sweeter with a stay in our comfortable and luxurious FMI Rentals seasonal sanctuaries. Relax and luxuriate in beautiful spaces, and when you come home from your day-to-day adventures, the door opening to your home-sweet-vacation home will bring further light and wonder to your Mexican winter escape! This guide to winter in Mexico‘s Rocky Point village, South of the Border will ensure that every moment will be filled with fun, laughter, and light!

A Tour to Remember

Summer and winter aren’t so far apart in our charming Mexican fishing village and although it may be a tad too cold to swim in the surf during the winter, a sea faring tour offered by Eco Fun Adventures offers an experience you won’t need to pass on! Offering sunset cruises, Bird Island Tours, and during the months of January through March, whale watching adventures that will take your breath away! Charter them for a fishing expedition and bring your catch of the day “home” to be the special du jour on your FMI Rentals menu for the evening meal; barbecue grills and fully equipped kitchens will give you options on how you want to prepare your fresh fish feast!

Old Port Explorations

Old Port was once the hub of Rocky Point, the spot where anxious wives watched for their husband’s return from a day of pitting their wits against the sea, where merchants perused each day’s bounty, seeking the perfect fish for their store’s and restaurants. Today, fishermen still sail in and out of Old Port, but it has also become the center of shopping and dining activity, while still paying homage to those brave fishermen with a statue planted here known as El Pescador (the fisherman.) Shop for souvenirs at open air stores, purchase gifts for family members that are notoriously difficult to shop for, and in between purchases, be sure to keep your cell phones at the ready. Snap shots of the sea, the boats, and perhaps take a family portrait for your Christmas cards in front of the colorful Peñasco sign springing from the concrete in a spot where sea views and palm trees swaying in the breeze will enhance each shot!

A Culinary Exploration

Blending the sea with the heat and fire of classic Mexican meals, your culinary explorations of Rocky Point will make your taste buds stand up and cheer. The Friendly Dolphin serving up seafood tacos and chicken burritos (but only to those carrying cash, no cards allowed.) Latitude 31, offering American foods with multiple televisions playing the best of the American sporting events, and La Casa del Capitan, a local favorite for over 3 decades, featuring the best margaritas in town!

Food is love in our Rocky Point Restaurants, and when the dinner bell rings, your leisurely dining experiences will be filled with flavor, laughter, and contentment. Every restaurant offers something uniquely Mexico, even the American-themed ones, and because big meals are the norm down here, visitors will have plenty left over to take home and enjoy in the comfort of their seasonal sanctuary.

Winter in Mexico with FMI Rentals

Every morning can start with a walk along the sandy beaches of Rocky Point, even as the waters of the Sea of Cortez may be too chilly to swim in, the cool wet water streaming over your toes, feet, and ankles will feel just right. Come back home to sleep for a couple of more hours after watching the sunrise, play games at dining room tables when the occasional rainy day brings clouds to your winter adventure, and sip the tequila you purchased from the Tequila Factory on rooftop patios that provide stunning views of the sea.

Some homes may provide heated swimming pools that can still be enjoyed in the winter months, other homes may provide outdoor kitchens and large exterior dining tables for barbecues and picnics. Every home offers comfort and color and a peek into classic Mexican décor as well as south of the border charm that bids Bienvenido (welcome!) to all who reside within. Reserve your favorite FMI Rentals winter haven of comfort and luxury today!

Why Fall Is the Perfect Time to Vacation in Rocky Point https://fmirentals.com/why-fall-is-the-perfect-time-to-vacation-in-rocky-point/ https://fmirentals.com/why-fall-is-the-perfect-time-to-vacation-in-rocky-point/#respond Thu, 14 Sep 2023 20:10:29 +0000 https://fmirentals.com/?p=11906 As the days begin to shorten and the evenings grow cooler, some of our favorite people in the world feel a little bit of sadness that the season of summer has passed.

As the days begin to shorten and the evenings grow cooler, some of our favorite people in the world feel a little bit of sadness that the season of summer has passed. Especially our friends who live in colder climes, knowing that winter is just a blink away can be difficult when you still feel as if you have beach days that have yet to be experienced and your summer tan just needs a touch more added to become perfect, instead of fading away. For those who feel the passing of summer as a physical ache, we at FMI Rentals have the solution of summer, a visit to Rocky Point, Mexico and a stay in our seasonal sanctuaries! Summer lasts longer south of the border and although the days do grow somewhat cooler, the sun shines bright, the waters stay warm, and the carefree vibe of summer stays strong. This guide to why the fall is the perfect time for a Rocky Point vacation will help you keep summer alive just a little bit longer!

Have the Beach to Yourself This Fall in Rocky Point

Fall signifies back to school and back to reality, and most travelers are staying home preparing for a new year of chaos, clearing out the beaches of Rocky Point, lessening the lines in restaurants, and creating a vacation experience that is tranquil and serene. With temperatures in the 80s, you are going to want to spend as much time as possible at the beach, and because the crowds have dissipated for the season, it will almost feel as if the sand and sea belongs to you and your family! These moments spent building sandcastles that won’t be destroyed by uncaring crowds, frolicking in the salt waters without stepping on the feet of unnoticing children, and relaxing on beach chairs with unencumbered views of the Sea of Cortez will bring about some of the best moments of your adventures in Mexico. (And yes, the banana boats ARE as fun as they look, and you and your family may have one to yourselves!)

Mexican Independence Day, September 16

Americans are often confused into believing that Mexican Independence is what’s celebrated on Cinco de Mayo when it is actually the celebration of winning a battle over France. Mexican Independence Day is on September 16, and the two-day celebration may even outdo the ones Americans enjoy in July! The party is an authentic glimpse into the culture of the people who live here, beginning with a call to independence (Grito de Delores), mariachi music, traditional foods, fireworks, and the burning of a makeshift castle! Mexican treats will please your palate, and the colors, sights, and sounds of the country enjoying the most important day in their history will make you appreciate your visit even more. The town does pretty much shut its doors to allow everyone the opportunity to celebrate, and technically it isn’t fall yet, but we still think visiting Rocky Point over Mexican Independence Day will give you the most genuine fall experience!

The Rocky Point Farmers & Artisan Market, Sundays 8 AM until 1 PM Through November 24th

The fully equipped kitchens of your FMI Rentals fall abodes are lacking one thing—the food and beverages you need to feed your family during your stay—but a visit to the Rocky Point Farmers & Artisan Market will help remedy that very quickly! Founded in 2012, this is THE spot to get local produce, seafood, and other food items, as well as providing a huge assortment of arts and crafts that will make ideal gifts for family and friends. Remember, even though it feels like summer, it IS fall, and the holidays are coming up more quickly than you will be ready for, and the wares sold at the market are destined to be the best gifts you can give.

Falling for Fishing

Fall is a great time for fishing, and as you catch your limit of snappers and groupers, bringing them home to your FMI Rentals seasonal sanctuary to grill and serve will ensure you eat healthy while enjoying the freshest and sweetest meals of all. Many of our properties will offer charcoal or propane grills as well as outdoor tables which will add ambience to your al fresco dining, especially with a meal enjoyed as the sun sets over the sea!

Carefree Days of the Season

The vibe is different south of the border, and your days this fall Rocky Point vacation will be some of the most carefree and laidback days you’ve ever experienced. Relax and recharge in our comfortable and welcoming homes, perhaps seating out on patios and balconies to watch the everchanging scenery of the sea, hanging out by pools, or napping on the sofa on a lazy Tuesday and let the summer feel seep into your soul. Reserve your favorite escape today!

People who love people will love spending their long weekend in Rocky Point, hanging out at the beach, hanging out at the bars and clubs, and of course, hanging out in the comforts of their vacation hideaway! Enjoy beachfront seats to the hottest entertainment in town at Manny’s Beach Club or spend the day enjoying a family barbecue in your home sweet vacation home. Many of our FMI Rentals havens offer private pools or feature the beaches of Rocky Point as their back yards and barbecue grills, sea views, and family will ensure that you have all you need to enjoy the best Memorial Day of all!

Circus Mexicus, June 8th through June 11th

This four-day concert series headed by Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers has been a Rocky Point tradition for 23 years now, starting with a simple rooftop concert that blossomed into “a major event!” Tickets don’t go on sale until March and the headliners have yet to be announced, but previous year’s lineups have included some of the best local and international performers and because Circus Mexicus believes in giving back to the community, you and your favorite traveling companions will be doing a good deed while having the time of your lives!

Why Do You Need Spring Events in Rocky Point?

Laidback, relaxed, and ‘ish (You know, we will meet at 5-ish!) are just a few words that can be used to describe the vibe of Rocky Point, and if you want to visit in the spring but don’t want to participate in any formal events, we say go for it! Spend your spring days soaking up the warmth of the sun, watching the sun set from your beach chair with your toes buried in the sand, and celebrating the season any way you wish!

Spring in Rocky Point, Mexico, while less well-known and crowded than other Mexican tourist hotspots like Cancun and Cabo, still has plenty to offer your spring travels! It’s a popular Spring Break destination and is very popular with residents of the Southwest who need a quick saltwater getaway. Great for families or energetic college crowds, Rocky Point, or Puerto Peñasco, is a booming, affordable vacation destination that’s within an easy drive of big cities like Phoenix and Tucson. Once, it was one of the most successful fishing villages of Sonora, Mexico. Now, the industry is mostly tourism-based, with growth from vacation rental companies, a cruise ship port, and ships departing for cruises along the Pacific coast of Mexico and the Gulf of California.

 

An Intimate Vacation

If you are looking for all the perks of a mainstream Mexico destination – breathtaking ocean views, exciting culture immersion, exhilarating experiences, and taste-bud-tingling cuisine – but on a smaller, more relaxed and intimate scale, Rocky Point might be just the spring vacation you need!

 

Hit the Beaches

Famous for our beaches, you can’t visit Rocky Point without checking out the tide pools at Playa Hermosa or the sugary soft sand of Sandy Beach. Besides walking along the beautiful shorelines, or soaking in the sun on a beach chair, check out some of the other adventures the area has to offer:

 

Kite Surfing – A popular activity for ocean lovers, in Rocky Point you will find lessons for any level, whether you are a total beginner or just need a quick refresher, you’ll be surfing the seas in no time!

 

Snorkeling and Scuba Diving – With crystal clear waters, abundant reefs and coves, and plenty of marine life to be in awe of, snorkeling or scuba diving is a great activity for a variety of ages! Look up an instructor and book an underwater adventure today.

 

Kayaking – The Sea of Cortez is the perfect location for a stunning sea kayaking journey. If you take an early morning tour, you might have good chances of spotting dolphins playing in the water!

 

Rent a Jet Ski – When a beach destination is as easily drivable as Rocky Point, many of our visitors end up just bringing their own equipment! But if you haven’t made that commitment yet, or you’re just packing light, fear not. You can always rent a Jet Ski or Wave Runner from local outfitters and enjoy a day cruising the coastline!

 

More Family-Friendly Fun – If you’re looking for a little slower paced or cheaper water excursion, you can take a ride on a Banana Boat for about $5. You can tell your driver if you’d like a wild adventure or a mild cruise – which makes this a great activity for families with small children. They will love a gentle ride on the waves!

The bayside town known affectionately by stateside tourists as Rocky Point is actually called Puerto Peñasco, a name that almost equates exactly to its English translation. Aside from what you call it, many consider the region to be a small slice of paradise on the shores of Bahia Kino, or Kino Bay. The warm waters and gentle waves along the bay are more reminiscent of a cozy beach vacation than the cold power of the Pacific Ocean. While time spent on the beach is sure to be enjoyable, you’ll have plenty of family entertainment in Rocky Point inside your vacation rental from FMI Rentals as well!

In-Home Family Fun in Rocky Point

Rocky Point visitors who arrive in the summer may find themselves indoors to rest and refresh after a day off on the water. Fortunately, with FMI Rentals, each one of our luxurious vacation homes provides top-notch entertainment options which include state-of-the-art electronics, complimentary Wi-Fi access, flat-screen televisions, and in some homes, a slew of board games. Once again, it all depends on the type of family, but the kids can take their pick among the classics such as Monopoly, Checkers, Cranium and much more, while the adults have their choice of more risqué games like Cards Against Humanity. We also encourage guests to bring their favorite games from home to enjoy during their stay!

Additionally, a vacation home with us allows the entire family to take advantage of the extra amenities aside from those essential ones included such as spacious kitchens and comfortable bedrooms. With swimming pools, hot tubs, bay views and more, staying in Rocky Point becomes a complete, all-in-one vacation without leaving your doorstep!

When the time comes to leave your comfortable rental, venture out once again to enjoy nautical activities such as fishing, kite surfing, snorkeling. If you prefer to stay on land, visit the varied restaurants along the beach while window shopping through native handicraft markets in search of authentic trinkets and tchotchkes. Back near the bay, explore the beaches at the popular (and often crowded during spring break) Playa Hermosa and Sandy Beach. If you want to avoid the sand, board a private charter to catch your very own dinner. Whatever family entertainment in Rocky Point you choose, wear plenty of sunscreen!

If you’re looking for a laid-back and inexpensive beach getaway for your next vacation, Rocky Point beach is the ultimate destination. Unlike other vacation spots, Rocky Point will not burn a hole in your pocket. You’ll enjoy all the sports and activities that you normally find on a beach even if you’re traveling on a budget. And that affordability doesn’t come at the cost of quality, an important point when traveling with your family. The townsfolk are friendly, and the landscape is gorgeous.

Best Time to Visit

You should avoid the summer because of the high temperatures and monsoons. It’s also the peak season for vacationers, which means the beach will be crowded. Winter is the offseason, so that leaves you with spring and fall. The temperature is moderate enough during those two seasons and the weather is great.

Two Rocky Point Beaches

Rocky Point has two main beaches that draw the largest crowds every year. Those are Sandy Beach and Las Conchas. Sandy Beach isa3.5-mile-long stretch of beautiful sand, pristine waters, and stunning marine life. You’ll be able to enjoy all the water sports that you can handle! A day or more at the beach will be a memory your children remember forever.

Traveling on a Budget

If you don’t want to spend a lot in Rocky Point,then you can avoid the upscale resorts and hotels in the area. You don’t need to convert currency either. The US dollar is an accepted currency in most restaurants and places of entertainment in the town. You can also use your credit card,which is much safer than cash.

The Old Port

After the beach, the Old Port should be on your itinerary. Here you can enjoy everything from fresh seafood to fishing boat trips. And because the toursare affordable,you can enjoy the whole day without spending much. The seaside boardwalk has plenty of restaurants for a quick meal or a relaxing time enjoying the view.

Enjoy the Low Tide

Even if getting in the water is not your idea of fun, you can still enjoy the seaside, especially at low tide. Once the sea retreats, it leaves behind a treasure trove of seashells and nice trails that hikers and walkers can enjoy. Your kids will love searching the sand for shells, and exploring the flat sand offers quite a workout, ensuring everyone will sleep deeply at the end of the day!

Rocky Point beach is the vacationer’s most affordable paradise. Enjoy all the great amenities that you find on the beach without breaking the bank. For more information on fun family-friendly Rocky Point things to do or to book your stay, call us today!
