This weekend’s rundown sponsored by Las Palomas Beach & Golf Resort
Love is in the air…or maybe it’s that warm weather that’s got us all flush and hearts racing. As hundreds of RV adventurers from the U.S. and Canada will tell you, it’s a great time to be in Rocky Point! Grab your honey and get ready for a romantic weekend by the beach, let’s run down the weekend!

So rather than Carnaval (so as not to get mixed up with the religous calendar), let’s just call it a grand fiesta set in a carnavalesque atmosphere. We’ll keep you updated as we’re able.
