Fun Things to Do in Rocky Point

If you’ll be finding yourself in beautiful Puerto Penasco for your vacation, you should be aware that there are many activities you can engage yourself and your loved ones in which are completely outside of whichever resort you’ve chosen to stay at. These range from simple activities such as tide pool searching, to the more adventurous thrill of para-sailing. The following is just a few of the great things you can do during your vacation, so why limit yourself!

If you are the adventurous type who is always looking to try something new, then kite surfing could be you. Rocky Point offers various levels of lessons for this thrilling sport, from beginner to advanced. The cost depends on which lesson you choose to take, and all equipment needed is provided to you. In addition to kite surfing, there are many ATV and dune buggy trails which are available to tourists, as riding these types of vehicles on the beaches is illegal. ATV rentals are available, but make sure you inquire where it is safe to ride these vehicles.

If kite surfing and ATV riding seems a bit too adventurous for your tastes, you could always visit The Center for Technological Sea Studies and Aqua Culture. This aquarium is an exhibit which provides an up close look at many of the different native species of the northern gulf coast. While here, you’ll see sea turtles, octopi, sea horses, shrimp, and of course, a wide variety of fish species. The sea turtles and sea lions are allowed to be fed, and food is available at a very small cost.

While many people enjoy going to an aquarium and viewing the wildlife, sometimes its just best to see these things in their natural habitat. This is made possible by several opportunities to go scuba diving in the Sea of Cortez. You’ll be able to take a tour of the famous Bird Island, where you’ll see large sea lions, octopuses, rock fish, eels, and many other species of fish. Once you’ve completed your open water dives, you’ll be able to explore the open ocean of Puerto Penasco.

As you can see, there is a wide variety of activities for even the most discerning of vacationers, and many are activities even the whole family can take part in. So whether you decide to go kite surfing with your significant other, or simply enjoy the day at the aquarium with the family, you’re sure to have the time of your life at Rocky Point.
