Catamarans and Sun Tans

Start your day with a filling plate of chilaquiles or other delicious breakfast at Xochitl's Cafe. Located in the La Choya area, this spot will take you out to the beautiful western tip of Rocky Point. This is fantastic food in a cute and colorful beach joint.
Open 7am-3pm, Thursday through Monday.
After eating your fill, putz around La Choya and eventually make your way over to Playa Pelícano, the far western beach in the area.

Time to get out on the Gulf of California! Book a catamaran sailing trip through Del Mar Charters, and spend a gorgeous day on the water. For $35 per person, Del Mar will take you out for a few hours (duration and location depends on weather and season). Drinks such as water, soda, beer and margaritas are included. You may even see whales or dolphins!
For more information, visit Del Mar Charters.

While you are in Puerto Peñasco, it pays to try birria, a specialty from the more southern Mexican Region of Jalisco. There is no place better in the city center than Birrieria "Los Mezquites." Though the cozy outdoor spot closes at 3pm, they sell out early, so getting there around 1pm will ensure that you get to try this delicious stewed beef or goat meat. Go for a medium, mixed bowl (media mixta) and a taco or two on the side. Los Mezquites is closed on Wednesdays.

After lunch head to this hidden little patch of trees along the more southern and eastern beach of Playa Mirador. The best part of this area is how quiet and peaceful it is compared to some of the more popular beaches in Rocky Point. Wade in the water or just sit and read a book while enjoying the birdsong and waves.

You may not expect a little pizza, pasta and salad specialist in the small town of Sonoyta, yet here Il Caffe Di Luciano is, serving up delicious meals in a quant atmosphere. Their friendly service, standout food and cute decor make this well worth a detour on the way back into the United States. Share a tasty pizza and pasta and then make your way through the border on the way home.
