The Beaches
In the coastal corridor of the Municipality of Puerto Peñasco (Rocky Point), there is 110 km of beaches. Places with distinctive characteristics so that you can find the exact place to feel comfortable and enjoy the view of the sea or take a dip.
Las Conchas beach is a gorgeous beach in the coastal area. A place of clear water and sand of incredibly soft texture, in front of a distinguished residential area. Sandy Beach is a beach of calm waves.
Playa Mirador sits near the port. There you can enjoy a lovely afternoon taking in the clean and quiet air of the sea. Playa Hermosa pays homage to its name and gives you a beautiful view of the place.
Activities During Christmas Season
To make your gift purchases on Christmas Eve, you take a walk and stroll peacefully along the Malecon Fundadores. If you like to exercise and enjoy the view of the place, you will love Tajamar. There morning or day runners meet, to run five hundred meters.
You can also climb the hill of the whale. When you reach the top, you will enjoy beautiful views of the place as a reward for your effort.
If you want to enjoy a marine Christmas, you can hire a boat to go to the Island of San Jorge and enjoy the habitat of the largest colony of sea lions in the Sea of Cortez. You may also enjoy sport fishing, diving, and snorkeling for the day.
The Gran Desierto de Altar
When living in Puerto Peñasco, you cannot miss the Gran Desierto de Altar or Great Altar Desert. It is an area of more than seven thousand kilometers of desert declared a World Heritage place in 2013.
It has a crater 250 meters deep and a kilometer and a half wide. The Great Altar Desert served as a stage for the training of US astronauts in the sixties.
For Christmas Eve at Your Rocky Point Home
If you wish, you can ask local people to invite you to their Posadas, a tradition of the Christmas season that we enjoy throughout the country and that we have from December 16th to the 24th.
The Posadas represent the pilgrimage of Joseph and Mary looking for a place to rest and where Mary gave birth to Jesus. The Posadas are full of Mexican warmth. You can enjoy how the children, and sometimes adults as well, break a piñata with the shape of a seven-pointed star made of clay and cardboard and full of confitures and fruit.
Organizing a campfire can also be a good option for those looking to celebrate differently. Another good idea is to go out to dinner with the family at one of the restaurants that will remain open on Christmas Eve, but remember it requires prior reservation. The most famous restaurants are Chef Mickey’s Place, Pane e Vino Ristorante and Blue Marlin.
Christmas dinner at your Rocky Point Home
Or if you prefer you can cook Christmas dinner the Mexican way at your Rocky Point home.
In Rocky Point the Pacific Sea and its proliferate marine fauna are part of the gastronomy of the place. You could try the manta ray fillet with pasilla chili, shrimp in several recipes, walnut salmon, among other delicacies.
One of the dishes that make our mouths water, a typical dish for Christmas or New Year’s dinner in Mexico, is the Lomo Adobado or Roast Adobo Pork Loin.
Also, Romeritos, a Mexican dish, consists of sprigs of a wild plant known as Romerito (“Suaeda” spp.) that looks like rosemary, therefore its name. Or even a traditional Turkey.
This way, Rocky Point offers you a quiet, cheerful Christmas full of kindness from the people so that you can enjoy a warm Christmas Eve at your Rocky Point Home.
