When this summer ends, and you know it will far too soon, are you going to look back on all the fun memories you made at one of our places to stay in Rocky Point, long days spent soaking in the serenity of the sea, frolicking in the surf, and building sandcastles at water’s edge? Or has this season been just another sea of days, filled with late nights, late mornings, and constant phone calls from the kiddos at home stating they are bored and their brother stared at them too long? We at FMI Rentals think it isn’t too late to remedy the whole beach vacation situation, getting in one last adventure before the school bells start ringing; this guide will give you a few clues as to what you can expect during your back to school vacation in Rocky Point!

White Sands Are Calling

You have probably been hearing the call of white sand beaches since the moment you clicked the bright green book now button on the side of our page, and now that you have arrived, you don’t have to ignore it a second longer. Drop your bags at the door and run to water’s edge, perhaps just in time to watch the golden sun fall into the sea or maybe the moon will already have risen by the time your toes are buried in the sand, but that’s ok. Tomorrow offers more opportunities to savor the sun, the softness of the sand beneath your feet, and the roar of the waves. Spend at least one day relaxing under colorful umbrellas, letting the serenity of the Sea of Cortez seep into your soul, or if you are the type who can’t sit still, there will be chances to ride jet skis, banana boats, or maybe even stand up paddleboards. Explore tide pools when the tide goes out, search for shells to bring home as souvenirs, and if you are lucky, you may even find some shark’s teeth, impressing your friends when you return to real life.

Explore the Pinacate and Gran Desierto de Altar Biosphere Reserve

Offering the opportunity to walk on lava flows, the chance to explore the wildlife, and perhaps take some of the best pictures you have ever taken in your life, the pinacate and gran Desierto de altar biosphere reserve (the Pinacate Biosphere, for short) offers an educational experience that never fails to entertain. Your children will be delighted at the sight of Gila monsters running across the sandy landscape and the chance to run across a desert tortoise is quite high. Over 44 mammals and more than 200 bird species make their home in the Pinacate Biosphere so why not keep track of the ones you see?

A Stroll on the Malecon

Coming in a close second in popularity to the beaches of Rocky Point, the Malecon allows offers something different for every traveler. Fine restaurants, seaside bars, and upscale shops appeal to those with discerning tastes, but families may enjoy a different side of the Malecon. Selfies taken in front of the colorful Peñasco sign, watching the shrimpers and fishermen return to port after a successful day at sea, or enjoying an ice cream cone from Thrifty Ice Cream, competing against the sun to finish every bite before it melts all over your skin; summers are quite toasty in Rocky Point but this cool treat will help you beat that heat. When hunger pangs strike, Margarita Mermaids is one of our favorite Malecon restaurants, offering live music, delicious seafood-centric Mexican food, and refreshing cocktails.

Be sure to stop by the statue that pays homage to the shrimping industry, offering another selfie opportunity.

Rocky Point Ziplines, Paseo de la Duna S/N

Although most of your Rocky Point adventures will take place at the beach, Rocky Point Ziplines offers a chance to fly above the blue waters and sandy beaches. Enjoy the views from 150 feet in the sky, savor the feeling of flying, and relax knowing that the $25 per person cost of ziplining will fit easily into your vacation budget. Also offering axe throwing, gellyball adventures (a softer and less messy version of paint ball) horseback riding, and off road rentals, Rocky Point Ziplines is one of our favorite places to be.

Family on beach

Making Memories with FMI Rentals

The moments you spend at home with FMI Rentals will be the ones where some of your favorite memories will begin. Enjoying al fresco meals on patios overlooking the sea, late-night swims in private pools, and comfortable evenings spent playing board games with the family; the memories you make in the comfort of our summer sanctuaries will prepare you for the chaotic days of the school year that lies ahead. Reserve your favorite place to stay in Rocky Point today and end your summer vacation with excitement and relaxation!

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.

Any of the Beaches Within Sight of Your FMI Rentals Summer Sanctuary

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!

Shopaholics will have a great time on a vacation to Rocky Point, as you can find many local shops and markets to pick up souvenirs, gifts, and more. Check out our favorite local farmers and craft markets in Rocky Point below!

Rocky Point Farmers and Artisan Market

Arguably, the most famous farmer’s market in Rocky Point is the Farmers and Artisans Market, run by the RPSB Chamber of Commerce right in downtown Rocky Point. This is a convenient spot to walk to in the morning to pick up fresh produce, try some local fruit, chat with the vendors, and get a fresh breeze on your face from the nearby water.

We love coming here every Sunday during the summer between 8 am and 1 pm to start your day in the best way possible. You can come here with your family anytime between July and November to check out the vendors, stands, fresh food, strong coffee, and unique handcrafted items to bring home as souvenirs.

Just walk from your lovely vacation home to Old Depot Park in downtown Rocky Point to see if you can find some fresh fish to purchase for your organic dinner later that day. Or try some freshly baked bread as a nice breakfast while sitting by the water. We also love picking up desserts, pies, and pastries to bring back home as a post-breakfast mid-day treat.

Other fun items to check out while you are here include handcrafted jewelry, which makes the perfect gift or souvenir to bring home for your friend. There are also tons of soaps, lotions, and candles, all of which can make you look and feel great during your vacation in the sunny country of Mexico. Plus, if you head here later in the day, craft beer will help keep you cool on a hot day!

One of the top things to do while walking around this expansive market is to check out the food stalls and the bulk foods for sale. We recommend trying shrimp pancakes or oyster shakes from the nearby food trucks. If you’re feeling brave, try the scallop burger in the afternoon or the abalone dessert for something super traditional.

Are you keen to go outside of your comfort zone? Try the ‘Chapulines,’ or roasted grasshoppers, commonly sold at every outdoor market in Mexico. They are crunchy and savory, and actually not too bad if you don’t look at what you’re eating! Another must-try item during your Rocky Point Farmers Market trip is the ‘obleas’, which are toasted tortillas with either honey or ham for a sweet snack.

Feeling hot after hours of walking around the open-air market? We don’t blame you. Try the Nieve de Garrafa ‘ice cream,’ which is burnt milk with rose petal infusions and your choice of flavoring. It’s the perfect early afternoon pick-me-up during the middle of summer.

Mermaid’s Market

Another cool farmer’s market and artisan craft fair to check out during your stay in Rocky Point is the Mermaids’ Market at the Shrimp Park and Plaza in Rocky Point. This market is held on the first and third Saturdays through the witness and spring season, offering off-season guests a time to check out authentic Mexican items, handmade gifts, local produce, and artisan foods.

We love coming here in the cooler months to go shopping for clothes, pick up some items to bring back home to decorate our houses, unique accessories, like cool hats and sunglasses, and tasty food and drink, like Bloody Marias, Mermaid Margaritas, and ‘cervezas.’

Plus, after shopping and walking around for hours on end, you can walk to the nearby Kaffee Haus Puerto Peñasco to have a filling breakfast and a strong cup of coffee. We love ordering the huge stack of stuffed French toast with a side of eggs and bacon or the Greek Farmer’s Breakfast with scrambled eggs, tomatoes, peppers, spinach, Feta cheese, and black olives.

Stay with Us at FMI

Where should you stay during your upcoming trip to the beautiful country of Mexico? Well, we have you covered. We know it can be stressful to find an Airbnb, hotel, or hostel that is within your price range and has all the amenities needed for your vacation. Instead of searching for hours and hours online, only to no avail, using FMI can help you find a beautiful vacation rental in no time at all.

At FMI, we offer one-bedroom condos that are perfect for couples, two-bedroom houses great for smaller families, three-bedroom houses on the water that are great for extended family reunions, four-bedroom properties that offer tons of outdoor space, five-bedroom homes for large group get-togethers, and six-bedroom mansions that are ideal for corporate retreats.

Rocky Point Vacation Rentals is the perfect base for you to hang out, explore the area, and really soak in the culture of the local area. Our Rocky Point rental homes offer every amenity and perk you could ever ask for during your stay, such as fully equipped kitchens, stainless steel appliances, far-reaching views, outdoor patios, second-floor balconies, beautiful interior design, and top-tier furnishings.

Plus, our rentals are in the best areas. You can walk, bike, or drive to any attraction or beach in the local area in no time at all. Instead of spending all your holiday in a car, driving from attraction to attraction, our convenient rentals are located in breathtakingly gorgeous areas of Rocky Point.

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!

You may be a bit busy planning your summer getaway but if you are a planner like we are, we are willing to bet that you have all the details locked down; vacation home rented, Park tickets purchased, and that new bikini you have had your eye on is already tucked away in your partially packed suitcase. You have already figured out the benefits of booking early and have moved on to the initial planning stages for your winter escape to Rocky Point and stay in one of our FMI Rentals seasonal sanctuaries! (And yes, we think it is perfectly normal to already have a second new bikini waiting in your online shopping cart!) Winter in Rocky Point is destined to be an adventure you have been dreaming about your entire life and if you aren’t a planner and do everything on the fly, we think this guide to booking your Winter 2022 Rocky Point getaway will help show you the benefits and start upping the anticipation levels instantly!

Save for Souvenirs on Your Rocky Point Getaway

The number one reason for booking this early is, of course, the savings benefits. Winter is prime tourist season in Rocky Point with everyone wanting to spend their vacation hours under sunny skies at the beach and the closer you get to the season in question, the higher the prices often rise! Book your winter escape today and get today’s prices, tucking away your savings for purchasing some Mexican pottery or silver and turquoise jewelry! You will get to enjoy the same comforts and luxuries as those who waited until the last minute but because you planned ahead, you get to enjoy them at a lower cost!

Discover the Best Shopping Destinations Here!

Your First Choice

We have all been there. Pouring over the pictures on your screen, finding the home that is on the beach, has a private pool, and is large enough to fit all the members of your family only to discover when you click the Book Now button it isn’t available for the dates you need! Pushing down your disappointment, you continue to scroll until you find something that may not check all your boxes (who needs a beachfront home with a pool anyway?) that does happen to be available when you need it. By booking now, before summer even begins, chances are you will have your pick of homes and that first choice? You will be walking on the beach at sunrise, watching the sunset over the Sea of Cortez in the mornings, and spending your daylight hours at your choice of locations, either the private pool or at the beach!

Do it All!

When we at FMI Rentals travel, we like to buy guidebooks of the region we are traveling to and learn everything there is to do! (And yes we mean EVERYTHING!) We study every page, highlighting the items that interest us, putting stars on the activities that we find most interesting, and even dog-earing our favorite pages. We also pack the book in our luggage, but to be perfectly honest, all we are doing is taking up space that could be used for the souvenirs we are bringing back home because we have our activities not just planned out but memorized! When you take a little extra time in planning your Rocky Point escape, you have the opportunity to explore every little detail that makes our hometown fishing village the vacation you will never forget! You’ll know where to take the littles to examine tide pools, you will be able to plan out time to ride the banana boats, and you will have all your tours picked out and booked! Whale watching in January, golfing in February, or exploring the Picante Biosphere Preserve in March; without planning and research, you would never have known these activities are an option!

Build up your Budget

Another benefit to booking your winter getaway so early also involves saving money but this time you are saving money to build up your vacation budget. Tuck away extra money whenever you can by brewing your own coffee, riding the bus instead of driving, and maybe eating at home one Friday a month instead of ordering your standard pizza. Because you have been planning for so long, these simple methods of saving can actually add up to a decent amount, allowing you to play harder!

Anticipation

As you mark off each day on the calendar, sleeping at night will be that much easier, especially if you lull yourself into a state of comfortable relaxation by dreaming about endless margaritas, sunsets over the sea, and long lazy days spent exploring the wonders of our neighbors to the south. Book your favorite FMI Rentals seasonal sanctuary today and while you’re at it, go ahead and click purchase now on that swimsuit in your online shopping cart; you deserve it!

After a tough spring and an even tougher summer, we are all ready for the next season in the line-up, and if you have a chance to getaway to celebrate the autumn equinox, why not live it up south of border? The weather is as close to perfect as it can get, the crowds have mostly headed back north, and FMI Rentals offers comfortable and stylish properties that will allow guests to beach more and worry less.

Following this Rocky Point vacation guide will make sure you do not miss out on a moment of the excitement, including all the wonderful moments you will have when staying with us!

Pumpkin Pancakes for Breakfast

Even though you are choosing a less traditional fall escape, the season would not be the same without the taste of pumpkin, and our fully equipped kitchens will make it easy to prepare a sweet breakfast of pumpkin pancakes. You may want to plan ahead for this recipe (listed below) in case pureed pumpkin cannot be found in the local grocery stores.

FMI Rentals Panqueques de Calabaza

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup milk
½ cup pumpkin puree
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Sift together the dry ingredients and whisk together the wet ingredients (minus the vegetable oil; that’s for oiling the pan) Drop the batter in large dollops onto the oiled griddle or pan, flipping halfway through cooking, and serve immediately to your hungry family! Whipped Cream on top adds a decadent treat, but regular maple syrup and butter tastes just as great!

Take a Hike

Fall in Rocky Point can still be rather warm, so this is not the vacation for you if you are hoping to spy some colorful autumn trees and with temperatures still reaching the low 90s in October, you may want to change your thoughts of a hike to a walk along the shore’s edge! If you get too warm, you can run out into the surf and cool down, before continuing your stroll. But if a hike is still what you have in mind, be sure to bring water and head towards the Black Mountain Hiking Trails! Located not that far from your FMI Rentals autumn abode, it is still close enough to water to allow for a dip when you start feeling flushed!

No Apple Picking Here

In the cooler parts of the world, fall is when the apples ripen and apple picking expeditions begin, but in Mexico, it is just another season for having fun on the beach! But that does not mean the adults in your party need to skip apples altogether, because just as the old saying goes an apple a day keeps the doctor away and in Rocky Point, a Carmel Apple Martini at sunset brings about happy dreams! This drink uses only four ingredients: caramel vodka, apple cider (you can make nonalcoholic versions for the youngsters!) salted caramel, and salt. Heat up the caramel sauce and drizzle along the outside of the glass and then dip into the salt—much as you would a margarita. Mix the vodka and apple cider together and sip at sunset on the patio of your FMI Rentals vacation escape!

Ghost Stories on the Beach

As night falls over the town of Puerto Peñasco, a quiet peace envelopes its occupants as they go about their normal business of dining and housework, but in October you may feel the need to shake things up a bit as you tell ghost stories on the beach. Bonfires are not allowed any more, but a battery operated camping lantern makes a great substitute, as you lay down towels in a circle around the lantern, the backdrop of the ocean and the glow from the harvest moon overhead adds to ambience of your nighttime beach adventures! Not sure you want to be out on the beach after dark? A few of our homes offer rooftop decks, so bring the party upstairs and be sure to enjoy a few more caramel apple martinis while you do so!

Fall in Love With Our Rocky Point Vacation Rentals

For months we have been forced to stay at home, going out only to seek out food, making the daily commute from our bedroom to home office. While we are showing an improvement in the battle against COVID-19, working from home has become the new normal, a fact that most of us have not only grown used to but have begun to fall in love with! But you know what? Prepare to have your mind blown as we at FMI Rentals show you another reason to fall in love with working from home, one that you have probably not thought about yet. Working from home does NOT mean you have to work from YOUR home, and this simple factoid means you can work from ANY home that has internet—including our spacious and luxurious FMI Rentals Rocky Point escapes!

Take Your Work with You When You Vacation in Rocky Point

Telecommuters from all over the nation are getting giddy as they pack their bags for a south of the border working vacation in Rocky Point guaranteed to bring peace to their souls as the sun’s rays add a bit of color to their cheeks, and you can be one of the happy many! Not all our properties offer internet, so be sure to read the descriptions carefully, but once you find the one that meets all your needs, book fast, as it may not last for long! Once you arrive, you will feel the tension slide from your shoulders as you drop your bags inside the door and begin to explore the sunny, yet remarkably cool space that spreads out before you!

The dining rooms with large tables offer plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable as you work, but do not limit yourself to the ordinary when a host of extraordinary choices are available. Curl up on the couch with your laptop open in your lap and your phone on the table next to you or take over an extra bedroom where you can shut the door to the sounds of your family playing and lose yourself in your work. When Zoom meetings are necessary, take it outside to the patio, turning so the backdrop of the Sea of Cortez brings envy to the faces of your coworkers, or if the property you are renting has a pool, bring the office party poolside! Sit with your legs dangling as you talk numbers and income proposals with your boss, realizing that the perks of working from “home” can never be overrated! At lunch, you can fix yourself up something nice in the fully equipped kitchen or take a break and head to any of the nearby restaurants; the Friendly Dolphin is one of our favorite places to munch during lunch, but there are plenty of options for you to choose from!

When You’re Done with Work

While you may not find yourself watching the clock as closely when working in your FMI Rentals vacation home away from home, you will be just as glad to close up your laptop as you are when you shut down your work computer because you know the best part of your working vacation is starting now! Head down to the playa for a last-minute frolic in the surf before dinner, and if you are still there when the sun begins to set, take a moment to watch the splendor in the skies. A Mexican sunset has long been the subject of romantic poems, and you will get to enjoy it in person! Evenings are long in the summer, but if you do nothing more than enjoy some drinks at Lucky’s Cantina or a delicious dinner from Latitude 31, well, we think you can consider the day a perfect one!

On weekends, fishing from Old Port offers dinner solutions, while a visit to the tide pools along the Rocky Point beaches will give your children a science education they can’t receive in school. Speaking of your children, if their school year is going to be one at home, they will enjoy a Mexican getaway just as much as you will! Some of our properties come with kayaks that guests can use during their downtime and spending a few hours over the weekend with paddle in hand can be a peaceful and regenerating experience. If there are no kayaks in your unit, that’s ok; they can be rented relatively cheaply from any of the beach stores found in the area!

The Best Places to Stay

Whether you are working or playing every day of your stay, choosing FMI Rentals will ensure that your working vacation will be a memorable one. Reserve your spacious and comfortable property today!

Although Mexico is known primarily as the land of sunshine and tradition, our cocky little hometown of Rocky Point has done its best to prove to the world we are something different! Offering hotels with the new hotel smell and shops that still have that thin vinyl cling that keeps them looking fresh and unscratched, new is better in Puerta Peñasco, and that includes the restaurants that pop up on the landscape every day! This guide to the newest restaurants at Rocky Point will help ensure that every bite you take is better than the one before it. Enjoy!

La Lotería Cantina & Grill

Located at Blvd. Freemont #150, Benito Juárez and offering the flavors of Mexico and the sea, this new spot has recently become one of the most desired in the region! Featuring karaoke nights and tasty margaritas, your Mexican adventure will be muy caliente after spending any of your evenings at La Lotería!

Lolita Seafood

This seafood restaurant may not be new to the area, but it was new to us, and we are happy to disclose that we fell in love with their buffet! Offering a mix of Mexican seafood staples with a few American dishes added to the mix, it’s guaranteed that no one will come away hungry after a meal here—even if you skip the buffet and order from the kitchen!

Los Magueyales Restaurant and Bar

The party atmosphere of Rocky Point is quite apparent in the restaurants that dot the area; most names end with bar or cantina, and that’s perfectly alright with us! Los Magueyales Restaurant and Bar has become one of our newest favorites. Located at Calle 13, Ferrocarrilera and serving the Mexican dishes we can’t live without, our visit to this cheerful and welcoming restaurant was the highlight of our week!

Not everyone wants to eat every meal out, but we all do HAVE to eat, and the fully equipped kitchens in our FMI Rentals rental homes are designed to make meal prep easy and fun!
