Las Conchas Vacation Rentals

Make a vacation rental in Las Conchas your home base for enjoying a relaxing getaway at this sunny beach resort on the northeastern coast of the Gulf of California, also known as the Sea of Cortez.

Las Conchas vacation rentals are situated in Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point in English) in the state of Sonora in northwestern Mexico. Rocky Point is just 225 miles from Phoenix, making the area especially popular with visitors from Arizona.

Vacationers planning to stay more than three days need to obtain a free tourist visa at the border-crossing station in Lukeville-Sonoita and drivers should purchase Mexican auto insurance. You'll need a U.S. passport, birth certificate, or naturalization papers to re-enter the United States by land (passports will be required of all travelers beginning in 2008).

Guests of Las Conchas villa rentals can bask on sandy beaches, swim in the warm sea, explore tide pools at low tide, go parasailing, or rent personal watercraft or kayaks. With just two inches of rain a year, sunny skies are virtually guaranteed!

Charter boats offer diving and snorkeling trips, dolphin and whale watching cruises, and deep-sea fishing for Grouper, Pinto Bass and Red Snapper. A romantic sunset cruise is a great way to cap off a day of fun in the sun.

Away from the beach, visitors renting Las Conchas villas can explore the area by horseback or four wheeler, shop for handcrafts, indulge in treatments at a full-service spa, or play a round at the new Jack Nicklaus-designed Mayan Palace course. Vacationers staying in Las Conchas condos can savor Mexican cuisine at Rocky Point's excellent restaurants, and there's no shortage of bars for enjoying a cold one.

Nature lovers will enjoy bird watching at the wildlife refuge of the Morua Estuary and taking a guided nature walk at the Center for Deserts & Oceans. About 30 miles north of Rocky Point, visitors can explore the surreal landscape at the Pinacate Biosphere Reserve, which features nine extinct volcanic craters, lava tubes, black pumice soil, and cinder cones.

Other attractions for guests of Las Conchas and Rocky Point vacation rentals include viewing the fascinating sea creatures at the CET-MAR Aquarium and visiting the CEDO Earthship Visitor Center, constructed of used tires and aluminum cans.
