These are places and experiences I recommend to my own guests, so you know they’re worth it.
Best Breakfast in Rocky Point
Start your morning right with one of these delicious options:
-
Collins Cantina (On-Site at Princessa Resort) – I can’t resist their breakfast burrito—it’s hearty, flavorful, and perfect before a day in the sun. Website »
-
Xochitl’s Café in Cholla Bay – Hands-down the best chilaquiles in town. A true local favorite! Facebook »
-
Kaffeehaus – Famous for apple strudel, pancakes, waffles, and more—each one loaded with toppings. It’s worth the wait! Google Map »
-
Puesta Del Sol at Playa Bonita Resort – Their weekend buffet is fantastic. Call ahead to confirm hours before you go.
Best Ceviche in Rocky Point
When it comes to ceviche, I only have one recommendation because it’s that good:
-
Mariscos El Rey – Once a food truck, now a must-visit restaurant in town. Their ceviche tostadas are fresh, flavorful, and unforgettable. Google Map »
Fun Things to Do with Kids in Rocky Point
Whether you’ve got little ones or teens, Rocky Point offers plenty of activities to keep them entertained:
-
Pirate Ship Cruise – A family favorite when our kids were younger. Fun, adventurous, and a great way to see the coastline. Google Map »
-
Cholla Bay – Perfect for swimming or paddleboarding (bring your own board). At mid/low tide, you can even drive along the bay. Snorkel along the rock edge to see colorful fish. Be careful—the rocks can be sharp! Google Map »
-
Princessa Beach at Low Tide – Check the tide charts for extreme low tides. The reef will be exposed, creating incredible tide pools full of sea life. Please look, but don’t remove anything—we want it to stay beautiful for everyone.
-
Beach Day – Sometimes the best kid activity is the simplest: building sandcastles, splashing in the waves, and soaking up the sunshine.
Final Thoughts
From fluffy pancakes at Kaffeehaus to fresh ceviche at Mariscos El Rey, Rocky Point is bursting with flavor. Add in tide pooling at Princessa, paddleboarding in Cholla Bay, or a Pirate Ship cruise, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for unforgettable family memories.
