The joy of summer ends far too soon in most places, with temperatures dropping, school
starting, and the stress of the fall and winter holidays starting to weigh on our minds, but in
Rocky Point, Mexico, summer is a state of mind that stretches out late into the next season.
The waters of the Sea of Cortez stay warm, the sun shines brightly down on those who walk below,
and our FMI Rentals beachfront sanctuaries will help to continue the summer vibe throughout
your stay. This guide to a Labor Day in Rocky Point will help erase the sting of summer’s end as it opens your eyes to all the possibilities.
It shouldn’t be a surprise that the first thing on our list of fun ways to extend summer through
Labor Day weekend is a day at the beach. Bury your toes in white sands as the sounds of the surf soothe
your soul, let your inner child out as you ride the banana boats crisscrossing the surf, and walk
along water’s edge every morning and every evening of your stay, savoring the stunning beauty
of our Rocky Point sunrises and sunsets.
Adventurers may want to rent jet skis from Xtreme Adventures Puerto Peñasco or parasail with Parasailing Rocky Point, and families with young children may want to spend many happy mornings building sandcastles, constructing a new one each morning after the tide washes away the previous day’s work. Inquisitive kiddos may be thrilled by the life they discover in the tide pools that appear after the tide goes out, as this is the perfect time to get up close and personal with the sea life, including octopi, fish, and shy crabs.
Rocky Point is relatively young for a Mexican village, mostly because running water wasn’t
introduced to most of the town until about the mid-1970s. It has a history that extends far
earlier than that, however, a history that is intertwined with America’s history due to
prohibition. When alcohol was illegal in the United States, Al Capone began to visit quite
frequently, in part due to its tropical setting, but mostly because of the alcohol. He made La
Posada La Roca Hotel his south of the border home, and although you will be far more
comfortable in our FMI Rentals retreats, the hotel is still standing and can be a great place to
stop in, perhaps taking selfies in the spots where he once lived.
We do recommend a visit to Al Capone’s Seafood & Pizzeria, where the fresh and tasty food will add to the quality of your vacation experience. For another peek into the past, be sure to stop by the Malecon and pay your respects to El Camaronero, a statue of a fisherman; it’s a great selfie spot as well.
Not every adventure needs to be grand and extravagant. Sometimes the most impactful activities are the simple things enjoyed with families. It will still be plenty warm during your Labor Day in Rocky Point, making an ice cream cone from Thrifty a treat that will help beat the heat. Take it to go and enjoy a contest with your tiniest travelers, competing with each other on who can finish it before it melts into a sticky mess and watch their faces light up with joy.
Pour a glass of wine for yourself, and glasses of grape juice for the kids, and all of you can raise a toast to the beauty of a Mexican sunset, making the littles feel as if they are adults for a few moments in time. Or dedicate a few hours to searching for sea shells on Cholla Bay, watching your children delight in the shapes and colors, perhaps even finding a sand dollar that will serve as a beautiful souvenir from this fantastic family weekend. Aside from the small cost of a cone, all of these adventures cost nothing and will be remembered forever.
Memories are what helps us stay strong in the hardest of times, and we like to think that the more memories you make the happier you will be, which is why we at FMI Rentals work so hard on providing holiday hideaways that will help you make happy memories.
Being awakened each morning by a pile of kids climbing in your bed, ready to start a day of fun under the sun, watching movies on state of the art televisions on rainy nights, or hanging out in a private pool, watching your youngest swim across the pool on his own for the very first time. Memories are made in our Rocky Point retreats and all you need to do is choose the one that fits your vacation needs the best. Reserve your favorite property today!
Summer is here and the official festivities have begun, making an escape to the beaches of Rocky Point sound like an excellent idea. Offering white sand beaches, turquoise waters, and a joyful and laid-back vibe, the only thing better than a beach getaway to Rocky Point is a beach getaway to Rocky Point while staying in our FMI Rentals beachfront sanctuaries. This guide to the Rocky Point’s best beaches, and the best vacation rentals in the country, will give you a clearer idea of everything you have to look forward to during your journey south of the border.
There are 14 beaches within the Rocky Point city limits, and although all will offer water lovers a wonderful experience, the beaches we mention here are the most popular, offering more to explore and the opportunity to play in a variety of ways. Our first beach we have to explore today is perhaps the one that is most well-known, Sandy Beach. Not a very original name, we get that, but we don’t think you will mind when you are spending the day relaxing, frolicking in the surf, and just soaking in the serenity of the area. Many of our finest FMI Rentals are located close to Sandy Beach, perhaps within view of the waves crashing against sandy shores.
Playa Bonita translates to beautiful beach, and we dare you to find a beach that is more stunning than this most popular beach. Offering sun shade rentals to help visitors protect their sensitive skin, this beach is also popular with water sports enthusiasts, enabling them to parasail, ride the banana boats, and jet ski. Also close to some of the best restaurants in town, a good meal and a strong margarita are just a short distance away, as are more of our beach cottages and condos.
The Old Port area of Rocky Point was once the main fishing port and is still where many fishermen drop anchor after a day at sea, and Mirador Beach is just around the corner. Offering both sandy beaches and rocky areas, its tidepools provide fascinating entertainment for your kiddos. Some of Rocky Point’s most popular night spots can be found in this area, including Manny’s and Pink Cadillac.
This rocky beach is actually quite popular with divers and snorkelers, offering a 15-mile-long submerged reef, calm waters, and a boat launch for those who want to head out to deeper waters. La Cholla beach is also a great fishing beach, making it easy to catch your limit of red snapper, halibut, and black sea bass, so grab your gear a cooler filled with snacks and beers and prepare for a few hours of pitting your wits against the most delicious denizens of the sea. La Cholla is also known for being home to perhaps the most well-known night spot in the area, JJ’s Cantina.
Not every beach we discuss here will be located in the town of Rocky Point. Some, like Playa Encanto, involve a short road trip to reach but will be worth every mile driven. Playa Encanto is one such beach, located about 12 miles down the road and offering one of the most beautiful and serene beaches in the region. Offering soft sand beaches that are rock-free and a quiet peace that speaks to the soul of everyone who chooses to make the trip to this area, Playa Encanto is one of our favorites, and we think it will be one of yours as well.
Home to some of our more popular vacation properties, Las Conchas is a great beach for searching for sea shells, fishing, and relaxing. Offering shallow and calm waters along its 6-mile-long stretch of beach, your time spent here will be memorable and peaceful.
Playa Dorada is a little further away from Rocky Point, about 30 minutes away to be precise, but this quiet beach is known for its peaceful ambience and the abundance of seashells found along its sandy shores. This is a fantastic beach for finding seashells and for getting lost in your thoughts and in the beauty of the seascape that spreads out before you.
A Rocky Point vacation spent enjoying the comfort and luxury found in our summer sanctuaries promises to be a vacation you will never forget, especially when you choose one of our FMI Rentals beachfront properties. Located on the best beaches in town, your backyard will be sand and sea and your views will be ones that make you fall in love. Reserve your favorite today!

When choosing where to go for a vacation destination, one of the primary things you need to worry about is the place you will be staying. Although this is an important point to consider, many limit their vacation options to a hotel or small rented room. This is a very familiar option to many vacation goers, but there is a better option to consider: vacation home rentals! This service allows guests to rent an entire home rather than a small and condensed room. Here at FMI Rentals, we specialize in providing these types of accommodations for our guests. Stay in one of our rentals and feel like you are at home while on vacation.
Vacation home rentals are perfect for families or those looking for a little more privacy for their vacation accommodations. Whether you are looking for the whole family to go or just a few private people, we have a choice for you. Our luxury homes will suite all of your needs. During your stay, you will have access to the entire home, including beds, common rooms, and even a full kitchen for you to prep your meals. This is great for those with dietary needs or allergies that make vacations and eating out a difficulty.
We maintain the best vacation rentals for you and your family to stay in. All of our owners make sure that the property is well maintained, upgraded and suited for every new visitor to the premises. We send in a professional cleaning crew between every visitor and make sure that the landscaping is in pristine condition for your stay. These homes are solely used for vacations, so you do not need to worry about staying in someone’s home. You will be given access to the home for the duration of your stay without the worry of an owner stopping by or living with a host family during your trip.
Vacation rentals are starting to become more and more popular for your destination vacation due to what they offer. There is nothing that requires guests to leave during the day or make you feel cramped, only a home that welcomes you when you come home and comforts you when you want to stay.
If you want more information on our rentals or info on vacation rentals, please feel free to visit our website or call us to rent with FMI. We would be happy to help you plan your next vacation.
