Rocky Point has always been a popular destination for Tucson residents over spring break. For a small town in Mexico, Rocky Point has more delicious dining options than one may think. Ask your hotel staff for directions, and check out some of the best restaurants in Puerto Peñasco.

This upscale, Italian and seafood restaurant could be the best in town. With delicious eats like Manicotti, crab-stuffed ravioli, and traditional lasagna, Mare Blu is a great place to eat for something other than Mexican food. With a piano and live music playing in the evenings, the romantic, upscale atmosphere is a perfect match for the food.
