My, oh my, it’s May! The days are sunny, the sea breeze is inviting, and the water is getting warm. It has been an active Spring in Rocky Point, and we’re just gearing up as the Summer nears.
The first weekend of May welcomed back hobie cats, more live music, plus golf and volleyball tournaments to our shores. Around mid-month, we’ll be ready to roll out the aquatic carpet for the Mexican Navy’s “Cuahtemoc” training ship as it sails through to celebrate the Navy’s bicentennial. That will be incredible!
Health protocols to prevent additional spread of Covid remain in place across the city So, stay well, get out your calendars and let’s run down what’s up in Rocky Point! #MaskUpRP #CoastalDistance
