beaches of Rocky Point in the North by Pelican Beach
and head South to Playa San Jorge.
Pelican Beach:
Beginning North

Mar developments, who are on the curve of the Bay of Cholla.
These masterplanned developments 2 share an estuary full of wildlife-Virgin

of the number of brown pelicans are situated in the region) is located near the
lower edge of the Laguna del Mar, this is a good place for catching the walls
or crab. This beautiful part of the curves of the beach in the Southwest until
it reaches the jut bit of land where the community of La Cholla. From the main
road to the North of the city, the clearly marked off to Laguna Shores/Laguna del Mar.
The Cholla (sometimes spelled as the Choya):
La Cholla is the
oldest enclave dominated by foreigners in the region. Which at the end of a
small peninsula that if a finger in the sea
of Cortez, on the South side of the Bay of Cholla
and Laguna del Mar, there is not much in the way beaches here. Although small,
offers Tucson Beach calm waters for paddling and
swimming when the tide is in. The peninsula is often called Pelican point. The
rocky shores are part of a submerged reef 15 miles, and when the tide goes out
it out waaaay! It is also an excellent place for red snapper, whitefish,
halibut or Sea bass and spotted bass fishing Black!
Sandy Beach (Playa Arenosa):
On the southern
edge of the peninsula begins scanning the Cholla km long sandy beach.
Construction along the edges (Sandy Beach Resorts) is the first thing you see
as you approach the city. There are many activities available at this point in
the beautiful beach, swimming, snorkeling, diving, water skiing, parasailing,
including jet skiing, surfing, fishing, clamming or just lounging in the Sun.
The Crescent-shaped
Beach has miles of sandy
dunes largely intact flows into the country. On the South side, it merged in
Playa Bonita, and the two regions share many characteristics.
Playa Bonita/Playa Hermosa:
Playa Bonita/Playa
Hermosa sweeps from the bottom of the sandy beach in one direction South of the
great arch at the Penasco del Sol from coastal resort area and is the main
centre for this area. Technically, an extension of Sandy Beach, this beautiful
stretch of beach worshipped by locals and visitors alike, with easy access for
most of its length. When the tide is low, tidal pools, rocks and algae exposed.
This provides an ideal time to explore the basins for the various weird and
wonderful marine creatures that live there. On the north end of this beach is
the Playa Bonita and Laos
Mar established hotels. Anchoring on her limbs, as already mentioned, the
Penasco del Sol (formerly Plaza Las Glorias). A few steps from the Penasco del
Sol are shops and restaurants, making it a busy place.
Mirador Beach:
Located just
around the corner from the Malecon the Vieux-Port the nearest beach the oldest
quarters of the town of Rocky
Point. Composed of sand and rocky shores, it's only about three blocks south of
the Penasco del Sol. Besides having the advantage of a beautiful beach and
upper tide pool when the tide is out, this area is night favorite of the city
with tasks such as Manny, Pink Cadillac, the pitaya and Baja Cantina.
Las Conchas:
Las Conchas is a
straight section of 6 kilometres of pristine beaches with low cliffs and large
sand dunes that dot its length. Excellent fishing and the bombardment of the
coast (and star gazing at night).

Beach, about 15 minutes south
of the city by car and separated from the beach Las Conchas by word of the
mouth of the Morua. Playa La Jolla offers an
ideal place to take the Sun, go for a walk, collect shells and enjoy the
scenery and serenity. The beach here is wide, sand and rock free.

Jolla, which is essentially the same the same range of La
Jolla and you already know what this beach is all about.
NORTH BEACH:
Located North Beach
is a development area that for a decade is very controversial, and the
controversy continues to this day. You can learn more about the real estate
debacles through Google, but for our purposes I will say only that the beaches
are excellent. Playa Dorada and Playa Miramar are two beaches/developments in
this area.
Playa Dorada:
Playa Dorada is
almost a half hour drive from the city. Since most of the beaches in the area
is the wide, sandy and covered with shells-some of them huge. If you're a
lonely and quiet beaches, you can not go wrong with Playa Dorada.
Playa Miramar:
Ditto Playa
Miramar, just below Playa Dorada and share these last characteristics s.
Maya Palace:
Located in the
mouth of La Pinta, 24 km along the Peñasco-table sorts Caborca road (30-40
minutes by car), has this huge resort development about 2 miles of pristine
beach. Located along the mouth of La Pinta, this place is an ecological
paradise for marine animals and birds and has excellent shell. Found on the
Southeast side of the beach, about a mile from the city, many creatures of the
sea at low tide, with huge shells, size hand. The sand is also ideal for
building sand castles.
Playa San Jorge:
Across the Bay by the new Maya
Palace Resort, where the curves of the Earth is more to the South, the San
Jorge Estuary, with beaches that rival that of its neighbor. Although there is
a development in the region, if you Playa San Jorge, you can be assured of
insulation, if that's what you want. Is that the beaches are all about.
