Family Trip to Rocky Point

March 7, 2004 8:49 PM

Going to Rocky Point next week with friends and family, including babies. Any recommendations on family-friendly activities, good restaurants, and places not to miss? (The cheaper the better...we're all starving recently-marrieds here!)

Perhaps this is naïve, but where's Rocky Point?

You know... we're going there in a few months, so I'll be curious to hear what you report. My friends who went recently pretty much seem to have spent a significant amount of time drinking and lighting off fireworks.

Mapquest spits out Rocky Points in nine states -- myself, I lived near the Long Island one. We always amused ourselves by getting drunk on the beach and fishing for seagulls (don't ask).

Maybe you could be more specific?

Since he lives in my neck of the woods, I'll assume he meant Rocky Point, Mexico. It's a popular destination for budget minded folks from the southwest, particularly phoenix.

Response by poster: Sorry, guys. Rocky Point = Puerto Peñasco, Mexico. Famous Spring Break destination around these parts. Known (as ph00dz points out) primarily for drinking and debauchery, but also a pleasant destination for boring folks like me who just want to go somewhere with ocean and no computers.
