Travel Guest Post: Puerto Penasco for Lovers

Just a short drive south of Arizona, the coastal town of Puerto Penasco is one of the easiest to reach and most relaxing weekend breaks for couples looking for nothing more than romantic bliss.

Puerto Penasco has long been thought of as the top romantic getaway for Arizonian and Californian couples, thanks to its combination of stunning beaches, surreal desert landscapes and that unique Mexican flavor – yet it’s not just the surroundings that make “Rocky Point” such a blissful place to be, oh no. Sure it’s a beautiful place, but it’s so much more than that for couples looking to spend some quality time together.

So do yourself a favor, get out-of-town for a weekend, head to Puerto Penasco, and follow these tips for a weekend of romantic bliss. Trust us, she’ll reward you in kind!

Buy a Mariachi Serenade for your Sweetheart

Being Mexico, music and romance go hand in hand – this is something that can work out really well if it’s planned in advance. In most of the restaurants around town, groups of mariachis (singers) will stop by, offering to play love songs for willing couples. Take your girl (or guy) to a nice restaurant, insist on candles, open a bottle of wine and you’re set.

Now, wait for the right moment (you’ll know when), make your excuses and go have a quick word with one of the mariachis (without her seeing). Have them come to your table and play a love song just for the two of you. Guaranteed to make her heart melt every single time!

Horse Riding at Playa Bonita

Playa Bonita is more than just Puerto Penasco’s main beach, it’s also one of the most incredibly romantic locations around, with a majestic landscape of golden sands and stunning azure waters of the Golfo de California. What’s more, they have something that’s just great for couples – they have horses.

For this, surprise and timing plays a big, big part. Pick your loved one up around early evening time, and don’t tell her where you’re going. By the time you get there she’ll be absolutely thrilled, and rest assured that few moments can match the romance of riding horseback along each other, watching the incredible sunset.

Couple’s Massage

Just in front of Las Palomas, there are some places offering massage services. Not all of them will do couples, but a few are accommodating. To be sure of getting what you need, try going their early morning or late afternoon.

Romantic Picnic for Two

This is a simple one – pick up picnic basket, a Mexican blanket, a few snacks and some liquid refreshments, then head down to any beach. Sandy Beach, Las Conchas, Playa Encanto and Laguna Shores are all great choices, they don’t get too busy and there are lots of shaded areas around if your lover doesn’t like the heat. To make a real impression, don’t forget to include one or two of her favorite snacks in the picnic basket, and even a little music wouldn’t go amiss.
