Summer is here! Yes, officially! Summer solstice on Wednesday marked the beginning of summer. Seemingly word really got out and it’s heating up. But hey, the humidity hasn’t kicked in yet this way and the sea is super inviting right about now. Every weekend seems to see more folks making their way down to Arizona’s beach, and now is no exception – though there is a “mini-lull” right before next week’s July 4th celebrations. Check for firework shows generally at Playa Bonita Resort, Las Palomas, over at Manny’s in the Mirador – plus, on July 2nd for those staying over at Encántame Towers just east of town. Let’s get to it and run down the weekend.
NOTE: Lukeville/Sonoyta border hours remain 6 a.m. – 8 p.m. The next date for extended hours is Friday, June 30th.
Burger Battle!
Did you know there’s a Burger Battle in town – ending tomorrow, June 24th! The local culinary magazine LaFoodie MX has enlisted several local restaurants in the meat madness and there’s still time to visit any of the selected spots to try their specialty burgers – and vote for the best burger. This is LaFoodie’s second round of Burger Battles – we know not all Rocky Point patties are on this list, but it is precisely so folks get out to try new spots. So, battle on! Featured spots this round: AP Coffee, Fire Pit Meat & Grill @ Peñasco del Sol hotel, El Local: Comida Sazona, Pimentón, The Crane at Islas del Mar, Mr. Burger, Restaurante de Ramón, The New Mexican, Jacaranda Pool Bar, Sushi to go.
