Packing for your trip to Rocky Point is essential for enjoying the best that this beautiful destination has to offer. Here’s a comprehensive checklist of what to bring and what to leave behind.
Essential Items to Pack
- Sunscreen: The Arizona desert sun can be intense, so it’s vital to protect your skin with a high SPF sunscreen. Reapply throughout the day.
- Lightweight Clothing: Pack light, breathable clothes to stay cool in the warm climate. A hat, sunglasses, and a swimsuit are essential for beach activities.
- Water Bottle: Staying hydrated is crucial, so bring a reusable water bottle to refill as needed.
- Medications: Don’t forget any prescription medications you may need. It’s also a good idea to carry a small first-aid kit with bandages, antiseptic, and pain relievers.
- Cash (in small denominations): While U.S. dollars are accepted in most places, carrying cash (preferably in small bills) is important for tipping and shopping at smaller markets.
What to Leave at Home
- Firearms and Ammunition: Bringing firearms into Mexico is strictly prohibited, and violating this law can lead to serious legal consequences.
- Excessive Valuables: Leave valuable jewelry and items at home. While Rocky Point is generally safe, it’s always better to avoid attracting attention with expensive items.
- Illegal Substances: Mexico has strict drug laws, and even small amounts of illegal substances can lead to arrest.
With these items, you’ll be well-prepared for a fun and relaxing trip to Rocky Point.
