🎸 If you know Rocky Point nightlife, you probably know these guys!

The Purple Onions absolutely killed it at Banditos this weekend. Ismael even gave me a little shout-out before launching into Beastie Boys…then it was straight into some Van Halen. 🤘😂

“Fight for Your Right,” “Jump,” “You Really Got Me”…one great song after another.

The Purple Onions plays every Friday and Saturday nights at Banditos, and if you’ve never caught them live, put them on your Rocky Point list. These guys know how to get the place going! 🍻🎶

Who’s seen The Purple Onions at Banditos? What’s your favorite song you’ve heard them play?

🥊 Well, I wasn’t expecting this when I stopped at Borracho Tequila!

I had a chance to meet and talk with Shannon “The Cannon” Ritch at Borracho Tequila here in Rocky Point. I knew Shannon had a serious background in fighting, but I didn’t realize he’s also the man behind CHINGAZOS Bare Knuckle Boxing.

And CHINGAZOS 3 is coming back to Puerto Peñasco on Saturday, November 14, during Rocky Point Rally weekend. 🏍️🥊

The event is bringing fighters from the U.S. and Mexico to Rocky Point for a full night of bare-knuckle boxing.

Shannon also spends time here in Rocky Point, so it was pretty cool getting a chance to sit down and talk with the guy who’s putting the whole thing together.

Who’s going to be in Rocky Point for Rally weekend? Would you go see some bare-knuckle boxing? 👊

🔮 Apparently, JJ can predict the future now… 😂

A little tarot card reading says JJ is going to make some money, somebody is buying a condo…and apparently I’M the buyer. 😳

There’s only one problem — I keep telling him I’M NOT BUYING A CONDO! 😂

You’ll have to watch to see how that works out…

All kidding aside, if owning a place on the beach in Rocky Point is actually in your future, Sonora Realtor JJ would be happy to show you what’s available. 🌴🌊🔑

🏨 Something new is coming to Sandy Beach!

If you haven’t been to Rocky Point recently, you may be surprised to see what’s going up in the Sandy Beach area.

A new Holiday Inn Express & Suites is getting ready to join the neighborhood, right near the Sonoran Sea and Sonoran Spa.

It’s another sign of just how much this part of Puerto Peñasco continues to grow and change.

What do you think — are you excited to see another hotel option coming to Sandy Beach? 👇

😂 Apparently, JJ is ALWAYS here…

We caught up with Sonora Realtor JJ to check out some of the amenities that come with Rocky Point living — and apparently we weren’t the only ones keeping tabs on him. 😂

Starbucks ☕, Thrifty Ice Cream 🍦, a beautiful fitness center 💪, incredible pools, restaurants, beach access and a whole lot more.

And wherever JJ goes…Frankie isn’t too far behind. 😂

If you’ve ever thought about owning a place in Rocky Point, JJ can show you what life down here can look like.

But the real question is…is JJ actually ALWAYS here? 🤣

🐴🌊 45+ years coming to Rocky Point…and I’ve NEVER found one of these!

I’ve been coming to Rocky Point for more than 45 years, and somehow this place can still surprise me.

Walking Sandy beach after the tide went out, I found this little Pacific seahorse washed up on the sand. Seahorses do live in the Sea of Cortez, but in all my years here, this is the first one I’ve ever actually found on the beach.

On the same walk I also came across a sand dollar — something I’ve found around Rocky Point before, but never on Sandy Beach — plus this strange eel-like fish.

Just goes to show you never know what the Sea of Cortez is going to leave behind when the tide goes out.

What’s the most unusual thing you’ve ever found on the beach in Rocky Point? 👇

🌴 Now this is Rocky Point living!

Sonora Realtor JJ takes us inside a beautiful 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo on the 16th floor overlooking Playa Encanto. The views alone are pretty incredible. 🌊

And there’s a lot more than just the view — beautiful pools, lazy rivers, waterslides, beach access, restaurants, fitness facilities and plenty of places to just kick back and enjoy the Sea of Cortez.

Could you see yourself waking up to this every morning?

If you’d like to know more about this condo or take a private tour, reach out to Sonora Realtor JJ. 🔑

🐋 Have you ever seen the giant whale skeleton in Las Conchas?

If you’ve driven through Las Conchas, you may have spotted this massive whale skeleton sitting up in the desert.

It’s a fin whale, and the skeleton measures roughly 55 feet long! The whale reportedly washed ashore in a nearby estuary back in 1984, and today its skeleton is one of the most recognizable landmarks at CEDO — the Intercultural Center for the Study of Deserts and Oceans.

Pretty amazing seeing something this enormous sitting in the middle of the Sonoran Desert… just a short distance from the Sea of Cortez.

How many of you have stopped to see it up close? 🐋🌵🌊

🚢 What’s the story behind this boat on Sandy Beach?

If you’ve been out toward the west end of Sandy Beach, you may have seen this unusual sight — a pretty substantial boat sitting on dry land with the Sea of Cortez behind it.

I’ve been curious about it for a while, but I haven’t been able to find the definitive story.

What is it? How did it get here? And how long has it been sitting here?

I know somebody in Rocky Point knows the story! 👇
