Get ready, seafood lovers! The moment we’ve all been waiting for is almost here. The Sea of Cortez is about to lift its annual shrimp fishing ban, which means in just a few weeks, fresh-from-the-ocean shrimp will be back in all our markets and restaurants here in Puerto Peñasco, also known as Rocky Point.

For those in the know, the local catch is a true delicacy. We’re talking about the famous “blue” shrimp, named for its distinctive color and exceptional flavor. This isn’t just a seasonal treat; it’s a part of our heritage. Rocky Point was founded as a humble fishing village, built on the incredible bounty of the sea. While other species like the totoaba are now protected and farmed, the mighty shrimp remains a cornerstone of our community. Its richness is what brought our first settlers here, and it’s what still sustains countless families today.

So, if you’ve been looking for the perfect excuse to visit our beautiful seaside town, this is it! The start of shrimp season is a celebration of our history and our future. And speaking of celebrations, you won’t want to miss what we have planned at Las Palomas Beach & Golf Resort®️.

Join the Celebration at Las Palomas on September 20th!

We’re going all out to honor this important date for our local fishermen. On September 20th, we’ll have a full day of activities designed to celebrate the first haul of the season. Our culinary teams at La Maria and Citron, along with all three of our pool bars, have crafted incredible menus featuring fresh-off-the-boat shrimp. Get ready to indulge in a variety of delicious dishes that showcase the shrimp’s unique flavor.

But it’s not just about the food! The resort will be alive with music, as we host more than five live bands and a DJ to keep the party going all day long. It’s a way to send a message of support and good luck to all the fishermen and their families as they embark on this new season.

This is your chance to do more than just get away. You can escape to our breathtaking destination, enjoy the sweet taste of freshly caught shrimp, and at the same time, support the families who dedicate their lives to this noble profession.

So, pack your bags and get ready to experience a taste of Rocky Point you’ll never forget.

See you on September 20th!
