Let’s be honest, it’s hard to believe we’ve already sailed through Spring Break and Semana Santa in Rocky Point and May is right around the corner. Semana Santa – or rather, Easter break – heralds the launch of our peak tourism season, along with warmer weather and even more inviting waters.  Yes, it has been a while since we’ve run down the weekend together – quite some time actually – though don’t forget our Event Calendar is continuously updated and we welcome your tips for additional info!

Travel note:  Lukeville border hours remain 6 am – 8 pm – stay alert for extended hours around US federal holidays (to be confirmed)
