When you are ready to start planning your summer visit to Rocky Point, you may have a general idea about what you want to do. We at FMI Rentals want to make sure our guests get an authentic and fulfilling summer vacation experience, and it all starts with this guide to the top outdoor activities Rocky Point has to offer!
Rocky Point Summer Vacations Make the Best Vacations
Even if you haven’t traveled here before, chances are you already have the Rocky Point vibe in mind. Summer in Rocky Point moves at a slower pace, as the heat, the sun, and the serenity of the sea work together to make visitors and locals forget the urgency and chaos of life.
Sleep late in the air-conditioned coolness of our vacation retreats before meandering out to the sand to walk along the water’s edge, perhaps with a cup of iced coffee in hand. In the afternoon, explore the shops, restaurants, and other attractions that make our Mexican coastal town unlike any other place you have visited.
Your kids will laugh more. Your spouse will happily fire up the grill, especially when your catch of the day is the meal of the day. You can enjoy a second glass of wine while sitting poolside, watching the kiddos splash in cool blue waters, as you pat yourself on the back for being the one who came up with the idea of a Rocky Point summer vacation!
Top Outdoor Activities for All Guests
You didn’t come all this way to stay inside and watch television. The fun outdoor activities Puerto Peñasco brings to the table will have you waking up each morning eager to start a new day of excitement and adventure.
The Sea of Cortez is our area’s biggest draw, offering plenty of ways to play hard outside while also helping guests stay cool. Remember, however, that the sun is bright and sunscreen should be applied liberally and reapplied regularly as you experience the outdoor activities in Rocky Point listed below.
Ride the Banana Boats
Once upon a time, the banana boats of Rocky Point were all shaped and colored to look like bananas, but today, you may find all types and colors of rubber rafts tied to speed boats that skim across the surface of the water. All you have to do is climb aboard, hold on tight, and let the speed thrill you. Summer in Rocky Point wouldn’t be the same without this fun ride!
Parasailing

Hiking and Biking
A walk along the shoreline is the easiest way to get out and move during summer in Rocky Point. For a biking adventure you will never forget, the Ghost Trail is a single-track bike route known for the exciting challenge of its flowy berms and short but steep climbs.
Wildlife and Birdwatching Experiences
If you’re hoping to catch sight of wildlife during your outdoor activities in Puerto Peñasco, a visit to Isla San Jorge (Bird Island) is our top recommendation. Sea lions and a large variety of birds make their home on the island, and a variety of sea life swims in the surrounding waters. Dolphins can often be seen from the island, and in the winter and spring months (should you be planning a return trip during cooler weather), whale watching is popular from Bird Island. Uninhabited by humans, your best way to see the island is via a tour. Del Mar Charters offers sightseeing, snorkeling, and birdwatching experiences on their Bird Island tours.
