Playa Penasco

Staying at the Playa Penasco puts you right in the heart of the action on Rocky Point’s wonderful, uncrowned and pristine beaches. Situated along the northern part of the Sea of Cortez, this amazing fishing community has also been the favorite beach destination for residents of the American Southwest for years. Now that it is becoming a more popular destination for travelers worldwide, the area is growing but not at all loosing its charm.

From world class fishing to awesome seafood and nightlife, Puerto Penasco is one of the world’s best kept secrets in terms of amazing beaches to visit. The vibrant and warm town is a wonderful place to explore and it ranks on par with some of the finest destinations for beach lovers worldwide.

One of the reasons people love coming back here is that is a tropical beach environment with beautiful weather, abundant sunshine and amazing water. So, being so close and easy to get to, my vacationers are preferring Rocky Point to more distant yet well known destinations. In fact, there is really nothing that Rocky Point lacks in comparison to their other vacation hot spot cousins.

Money goes farther here than in the United States in addition to the expensive tourist destinations, and what you get with your dollar has more value. Additionally, the simple fact that Rocky Point is just a four to five hour drive from Arizona’s sprawling metropolis, Phoenix as well as San Diego. An attractive alternative to the family vacation goers who don’t want to shell out thousands of dollars in airfare alone. And they are not disappointed when they get here.

You can kite surf, water or jet ski, scuba dive, or simply swim along miles of great, beautiful and uncrowned pristine sea shore. Some of the best scuba diving can be found in this area, and there are many places to grab affordable lessons before heading out on your first trip. If romance is on your agenda, then make sure to plan to hop aboard a sunset dinner cruise, and there are plenty of options to choose from, from the simple and intimate, to large party boats.

Staying the Playa Penasco brings you right to the middle of the best beaches around as well as the nearby restaurant and nightlife areas, and all for very reasonable rates and a helpful and friendly staff. There is no shortage of amenities and this is a great value hotel that doesn’t feel like one in the least.

Try and come in the Spring or the Fall because the weather is at its best. The Summers are great, but kind of hot in the afternoons, and the Winters are mild, but it does get cool at night. The water is great year round, and there is always something fun to do in this classy and fun fishing town. Staying at the Playa Penasco is a great way to get situated while you start to enjoy your vacation, and Rocky Point is always ready to welcome you to their oasis in the desert.
