You may not think that a Mexican beach town would make a very good vacation destination for an all-American holiday such as Memorial Day, but we at FMI Rentals would beg to differ! Offering the carefree beach experience you have always dreamed of and plenty of Americans celebrating right along with you, a visit to Rocky Point, Mexico and a stay in our holiday hideaways will turn out to be a vacation you will never forget. This guide to why our coastal town offers the perfect Memorial Day in Rocky Point getaway may lead you to begin wondering what other holidays would be better in Mexico—spoiler alert, it’s ALL of them!
A Day at the Beach
There are multiple beaches in the Rocky Point area, all having something extraordinary to offer, but the main beaches are as follows:
Sandy Beach
Sandy Beach is the most well known of all the beaches (there are more than we can count in and around Rocky Point) often considered the heart of Rocky Point and known for its calm waters and family friendly vibe.
Playa Hermosa (AKA Playa Bonita)
Playa Hermosa is the beach so nice they named it twice, and you can refer it to by either name; everyone will know what you are talking about. This hometown beach is popular with tourists but is also a popular locals destination, which that fact alone should make you interested in exploring all you can do on its sandy shores.
Mirador Beach
Looking for a party on Memorial Day? Once night falls you won’t even have to stray far from Mirador Beach as it is home to some of the most popular night spots in Mexico, and because we truly are a casual, come-as-you-are beach town, all you will need to go from day to night is a coverup and maybe a pair of sparkly flip flops. The flip flops may be tossed aside as you dance the night away as the waves crash against the sands not far from the sandy dance floor you are grooving the night away on.
Shop ‘til You Drop
Will there be Memorial Day sales at the shops in Rocky Point? Probably not, but will it matter? Again, probably not as the prices of everything are already surprisingly low, making a Rocky Point vacation attainable for everyone. The stores in Rocky Point range from typical souvenir shops to jewelry stores with lots of turquoise and silver to clothing boutiques, and perhaps our favorite, outdoor shops like the Mermaid Market. You won’t want to stop shopping until your arms are so laden with bags and boxes you start to lose feeling in your fingers, and then, because the prices are THAT good, you can drop your parcels off at your holiday hideaway and return to your shopping adventures for round two of the shop ‘til you drop show!
Angling for the Trophy Fish
Deep sea fishing is the international language for love to enthusiasts of the sport and Rocky Point is known to be one of the luckiest little fishing towns on the coast of Mexico. Stick close to the shores and enjoy a perfectly respectable catch or if trophy fishing has always been a dream, head out to the deep waters on a fishing expedition that will make all your marine dreams come true. Fish On Charters Rocky Point will take you to where your dream battle between man and fish will come true, more than likely with you being the victor, and with prices starting at $800 for up to eight anglers, this is a holiday activity that is reasonably priced as well!
A Taste of the Town
Of all the activities you participate in during your Rocky Point getaway over Memorial Day, the meals you devour may be your favorite. Not because the other parts are boring but because the food south of the border is so darn good! Additionally, places like Wrecked at the Reef are not just known for its delicious menu; it is also a prime party spot on the beach.
An All-American Celebration
Even though you are far from your United States of America shores, the celebration you experience in Rocky Point is sure to be an all-American one, especially when you choose to stay in and play! Choose one of our beachfront properties and divide your time between sandy beaches and comfortable surroundings, enjoying barbecues, rooftop patios, and in many cases private or community pools for more Memorial Day watery adventures. And at night when the sun sets on your Mexican paradise, the moon frosting the tips of the waves curling against sandy shores, your kickoff to summer will be complete, giving you all that you never knew you needed.
