Sandy Beach
A long resort beach on the western side of town, lined with hotels and condominiums. Water sports and sunsets are the main attractions.
Sandy Beach is the main resort beach in Puerto Peñasco. Several kilometers of sand stretch in front of the calm Sea of Cortez, while high-rise vacation condos and hotels line up behind it. You can swim, ride dune buggies, try parasailing and jet skiing, and when the tide goes out, large tidal pools are exposed where you can spot starfish and hermit crabs. Sunsets here are the best. The tidal range is very large, so pay attention to tide times when swimming and parking. Spring break and US holidays bring big crowds.
