The history of the Sand Castle & a sand castle contest for Rocky Point visitors.
Raise you hand if you have EVER built a sand castle or sand sculpture? Okay, when’s the last time you tried your hand at building a sculpture in the sand? Would you like to go back to your childhood, and try again? Building sand castles is not only entertaining, it’s relaxing, artistic, and the idea of it has been around for centuries.

17 ways to Fall for Rocky Point, Mexico
Photo by Rich Stratz Oh yes, it is that time of the year. The spectacular Fall of Rocky Point, Mexico. Where is Rocky Point? It is at the top of the Sea of Cortez and less than a 4-hour drive from Phoenix or Tucson, Arizona. A spectacular autumn road trip.
