Out like a lamb… Rocky Point Weekend Rundown!

laguna-del-Mar Out like a lamb... Rocky Point Weekend Rundown!This week’s Rundown sponsored by The Club at Laguna del Mar

After one of the fullest Spring Breaks in recent years, the city of Puerto Peñasco is gearing up for the arrival of thousands of family, friends, and vacationers for what is possibly the busiest travel time in Mexico – Semana Santa (Holy Week). Schools wrap up classes on Friday, March 27th and students don’t go back until April 13th. Yet, the busiest weekend by far will be for Easter celebrations (from April 2nd through the 5th). There’s lots going on, so let’s get to it and run down the weekend!

Driving notes:

  • One side of Benito Juárez coming in town is expected to be open by this weekend, yet when coming from Sonoyta we still recommend taking the road toward “Laguna del Mar” before doubling back to Sandy Beach area when headed toward condos, Playa Bonita, or Cholla Bay.
  • Yeah! Left turn is once again open at the Pescado in town at intersection of Calle 13 / Juárez. Yes, it’s been over a week but we just like repeating that!
  • Paving of road into Old Port has been going at a fast and furious pace and we are anxious to see when it will be opened up again. In the meantime, detour continues next to movie theater and along docks. IMPORTANT!! Latitude 31, Kaffee Haus and businesses on “other side” of pavement are OPEN – parking areas available (next to anchor to get to Lat 31, then walk across new pavement) and parking lot just across from Kaffee Haus. For boat cruises, consider use of parking lot or side streets rather than detour road.
