Rocky Point is known for its proximity to Arizona, for being a refuge for gangsters during prohibition, and for its delicious restaurants, inexpensive shops, and laidback vibe, but perhaps what it is most known for is its beautiful beaches. Travelers come in from all over the world to relax, play, and savor our sandy shores, falling in love with the region and the comfortable luxury in our FMI Rentals Rocky Point Retreats, making it one of the world’s more popular vacation destinations. And while every beach in this seaside town is worth exploring, today we want to take a few minutes to shine the spotlight on Sandy Beach in Rocky Point, one of the area’s most popular ones and one that also offers many of our top vacation rentals.
Family Friendly
Calm and shallow waters make Sandy Beach popular with families, especially ones with small children. Parents can relax and spend more time concentrating on the sandcastles they are building with their children and less time worrying about a rogue wave destroying what they have built and when frolicking in the surf, its depth allows the littles to learn to swim in safe surroundings. (Under parental supervision, of course!) Its pristine expanse of beach is also preferable to all tourists, but you know that mom’s are the ones that definitely approve of it the most!
Close to Town
Close to the heart of town, visitors can be on Sandy Beach in Puerto Penasco savoring sun and sea at one moment and then after tossing cover-ups on over their swimsuits, sliding into their flip flops, and driving just a short distance, they can be in enjoying a wonderful lunch at La Casa Del Capitan, devouring shrimp tacos and sipping margaritas. We know you could always pack a cooler and not have to leave the golden sands you have spent the morning playing on, but those shrimp tacos are very delicious and calling your name, so why not take a midday break?
So Many Ways to Play
You will want to relax a bit, sipping your own beverages as you lounge under colorful umbrellas and let the sounds of the surf bring you joy, but there are many other activities you can enjoy while playing on this most popular beach and we have listed some of the most popular below.
Sunset Walks With Your Favorite Traveling Partner
Sandy Beach in Puerto Penasco is known not just for its calm waters and golden sands but for the fact that the sands extend out quite a ways, making a romantic walk at sunset something that every visitor should try at least once. There’s about 5 miles of hard-packed sand to walk on, so this experience could also be one used to get your steps in, if you feel you have eaten a little too much of the rich and flavorful food served at local restaurants. And, if you are an early bird, there is an undeniable pleasure that can be found in watching the world come alive as the sun peeks up over the horizon and rises like a phoenix, spreading its golden light in all the dark corners of town.
Horseback Rides Will Make Your Beach Dreams Come True
A horseback ride on the beach has been many a traveler’s dreams and in Rocky Point, those dreams can come true on Sandy Beach. There are multiple companies that offer this activity with Rocky Point Adventures being one of the most notable ones, offering a variety of guided tours on horses that are healthy and well taken care of.
Jet Skis and Banana Boat Rides
Although both jet skiing and Banana boat rides take place in the water, rather than on the beach, these are still two very exciting and popular Sandy Beach activities. The beach vendors that can be found on Sandy Beach offer both jet skis for rent and the opportunity to climb aboard one of the banana boats for the ride of your lifetime and, we are happy to assure you, both adventures are reasonably priced!
