Rocky Point is a great place to be during the Thanksgiving Holiday. The town is full of families and vacationers relaxing and enjoying the long weekend. This year, as most, we were treated to yet another fantastic weekend weather wise. Living on the beach in Laguna Shores - and with such great weather - it was really hard to concentrate on preparing the Thanksgiving feast when all I really wanted to do was take the dog out and roam the miles of sandy beaches and enjoy the sunshine. Lucky for my guests I set dinner later than usual so I was able to do just that. My friends and family all came out to my house at Laguna Shores and we enjoyed a great turkey dinner with all the trimmings then went for a short stroll to watch the sunset.
The tide of the Sea of Cortez was low for the first couple of days, but then the full moon came around and brought the ocean right to the sandy dunes and a fresh wave of seashells. My girlfriend and I walked the dog every morning, afternoon and evening just enjoying the peacefulness of the beach and the lapping of the ocean waves.
The dog gives us a good excuse to get out and enjoy the sunshine and beach and spend extra time out there. On one of our daily jaunts we ran into a very nice couple who were visiting from Phoenix. They have been coming down from the 1950s and were very surprised at the expanse and development of Laguna Shores. We chatted for awhile and they went off in their Jeep on a beach excursion and we continued on our walk. If you haven't been out to Laguna Shores in awhile, I urge you to take a drive down the new Coastal Highway (003) and go have a look. Many of the streets are now covered with pavers and the development is really taking shape as more people build and more infrastructure is completed. The desal water system has been running since last summer an is now being piped directly to our homes and condos. Running water should be turned on to the first few homes in February. The sewer system is fully operational at all condos and homes and the power was installed underground this past year. This is in addition to the luxurious 5,000 sq. ft. Trophy Pool and the newly renovated Mikky Beach Club Restaurant. Now you have tons of reasons to swing by Laguna Shores.
