    Finding Sanddollars at low tide?

    Okay....so I know there are lots of sand dollars in the bay when the tide is really low and I've been told you have to know where/how to find them. I have been out once and didn't find any. So is it possible to explain here without using a map or something? Any pointers would be greatly...

    Favorite Spanish songs, post em.

    Here's my favorite...it's an old song (Joan Baez did a version of it) and it's been resurrected recently by contemporary Latin American singers for a Chilean cause. It is GRACIAS A LA VIDA... Thanks to life. Hope you enjoy.

    Question about restaurant Pesos to Dollars Conversion

    I've always like the restaurant there, but a while back their prices really went up and to give an example....I love fried shrimp and especially the shrimp basket at the Point... The shrimp plate at Playa Bonita was probably half or third the amount of Shrimp and cost about $6 more. I'll stick...

    Question about restaurant Pesos to Dollars Conversion

    Ok, so I've been frequenting P.P. for years and usually pay with cash at local restaurants, sometimes with plastic. We ate lunch at Playa Bonita Saturday and when I got back to the states I was filing my receipts and decided to check the pesos to dollars conversion on the bill they gave me. It...

    Kea asked about the lyrics. I wanted them also, so I posted on Craigslist and this was what I got: "It is a nice song, some parts I could not make out very well, but I did my best. I was looking for some Rocky point info and came accross your posting. Enjoy..." Tirandon la nota al viento En un...

    Violence Report goes National

    Well, I THINK that I have scoured every thread concerning the recent incidents, and I'm still left with a question. Not that all of this stuff scares me away, but yesterday Fox 10 phoenix reported in their morning show that there was also shooting at the beach with someone left dead? My wife...

    Anyone Familiar with Dr. Victor Palacios? (Colonoscopy needed)

    My wife needs a colonoscopy and we are considering Dr. Victor Palacios. He has done them in the past in Rocky Point but is actually located in Caborca, and we will have to go there. Has anyone had any experience with him or with getting a colonoscopy in Caborca/Rocky Point?

    Just Tried La Cita, Mare Blu and El Greco

    Well, we listened and we tried La Cita and loved it...clean and excellent service. We tried El Greco and it was FAR better than our favorite gyro place in AZ. We tried Mare Blu and it was awesome, thought it amazes me how they build things in Mexico side by side that are so different... I know...

They have a little 0f everything and LARGE beach umbrellas with the reflective lining for...

    Local place to buy Beach Umbrellas

    THANKS for the replies! I will probably look at the farmacia or across from Super Ley...yes, I did mean locally in PP. We're leaving tomorrow morning so I don't have time to rig the pvc pipe and plywood, which would probably be my best option.

    Local place to buy Beach Umbrellas

    We usually bargain with the locals in front of Gaviotas and rent a palapa when we are there for only a few days. But we will be there for longer this time and I was wondering if there is somewhere local to buy the really good large beach umbrella that you can anchor into the sand. I cannot find...

    Sea Lion at the Old Port....is that unusual?

    We were eating at The Point Thursday and a Sea Lion was swimming along next to the rocks where all the Pelicans are 'fishing'. I've been coming down for many years but never seen any there. Is it unusual or have I just missed it all along?

    Playa Lopez Lots

    Is the distance between low tide and high tide at Lopez as amazingly far as it is a Laguna Shores?...We looked there a year or so ago and decided we didn't like having to wait for high tide a couple times each day to be able to even see the water. Just wonderin'...
