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.
14 Beaches Bordering the Sea of Cortez
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 Really Is a Beautiful Beach
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.
Mirador Beach
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.
La Cholla
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.
Playa Encanto
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.
Las Conchas
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
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.
