This Weekend Rundown sponsored by Beach Bum on the malecón! Now featuring Karaoke Thursdays!
FALL! That’s right, when the temps dip down below 100 in Phoenix and the local shrimp boats head out to sea, it’s a sure sign that Fall has reached our neck of the Woods…or stretch of the beach as it were. Our Fall calendar is filling up quickly, so be sure to get in on everything coming up! Let’s run down the weekend!
Driver’s note: “Rough road” between KM 15 – KM 30 just south of Sonoyta when heading to Rocky Point (not as many pot holes, just bumpy over where they used to be). Watch for SAND on Coastal Highway towards el Golfo.
