September in Rocky Point sees temperatures cooling down from the Summer highs. A few more clouds too. In other words, the weather is getting close to perfect. With lots of events coming in the next couple of months (including the Rocky Point Rally), it’s a great time to get away. Let Seaside Reservations help you book that special place by the sea. Do you know which Seaside Resort is in this picture?
Brand new this September comes the WiFi Cafe. Located in the main building of the popular Sonoran Sea Resort, the WiFi Cafe brings a new nice place to hang out to those staying on Sandy Beach.
Open to guests as well as the general public, WiFI is half cafe and half convenience store. Though small, the store has a strategic selection of the things guests staying at the Sonoran Sea want to have, when they prefer NOT to drive into town.
At the counter you can ask to have your favorite coffee drink created on the espresso machine. I had a basic latte, and it was strong, foamy, and just right. Probably that’s because the coffee portion of the business is oversseen by Puerto Viejo, the fine coffee roasters located in the Old Port neighborhood.
Take your drink up the winding spiral staircase to a cozy loft above the store. There you will find a lounge full of plush high backed sofas and foot stools. Comfy and stylish. Loose the beach vibe when you want and find some quality time with your Ipad.
WiFI cafe is open from 8am to 8pm seven days a week.

Independence Day brings crowds of people to city hall for the Mayors’ annual address, cries of ‘Viva Mexico’, live Norteño music, fireworks, and more. Here local young people portray Mexicos heroes in a torch-lit parade.
This just in from Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers. . . . .

Reserve your stay with Seaside. Tickets available for Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers at peacetimegoods.com
‘Cheve’ is short for Chevesa. Thats how you say cervesa when you are drunk (borracho). Not that you have to be borracho to attend the First Annual Chevefest. It might be better to stay sober so that the enjoyment of the different beers offered at El Tapeo can really be savored. For sure this will be a good time for those that love having a tasty beer in a nice setting.
El Tapeo is a place known for it’s selection of wines, cheeses, appetizers served Spanish style (Tapas), as well as specialty beers. Most of these share a common origin in Northern Baja Mexico. Mexicali, Tijuana, and the Valle Guadalupe area of vineyards outside of Ensenada are represented on the menu, and at the Festival.
But what’s a festival without music? Right now, the exact line up has yet to be announced, but the mix looks to be rock oriented. Which sounds about right for a beer festival. I mean, Jazz and beer? No way.
Chevefest Rocky Point 2014 is coming to Rocky Point October 11th to El Tapeo Wine Bar, located next to Hotel Laos Mar behind Playa Bonita Resort. The cover is $200 pesos, with a beer tasting from 7:30pm to 8:30pm. by Richard Scott

Shuman on stage during Circus Mexicus.
Coming up this September two musical acts will make appearances at Banditos, out by the Sandy Beach resort area in Rocky Point.
Known as the home away from home for Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers, Banditos was a big part of the most recent Circus Mexicus. Recently, Austin Texas based Shurman has played as part of a first ever Friday headliners show. Shurman plays a blend of country rock that showcases their talents as a live band.
The groups lead singer Aaron Beavers will perform solo on Saturday September 27th. The group is currently putting the finishing touches on their next album, so expect to hear some new music. Aaron starts the evening over at Beach Bums on the Malecon for a set as the sun goes down.
Also this Saturday September 13th, Sassy and the Sneak Attack come down from Phoenix bringing a night of Funk, neo-soul, and a touch of theatrics. Music starts after the Mayweather / Maidana fight. Check out Banditos on the weekends, the home of Riband classic Rock trio and Clyne’s Mexican Moonshine Tequila.
Regulars to the Rally know Mogollon. The Arizona band has played a few Rallys, and their mix of country and rock is just about the perfect mix to motivate the crowd to dance, party, and what have you. That’s what they’ll be doing at the Saturday night Beach party, a real highlight of the Rally.
Up and coming country star Matt Farris takes the stage Friday night at Puesta del Sol Restaurant. And Thursdays opening to the Rally will have the outdoor stage at Banditos working overtime, as various groups will perform.
The count down to the Rally continues. With just weeks to go till things kick off on Thursday November 6th, excitement is building in Rocky Point. Come down and experience The Greatest Motorcycle Fiesta Just South of the Border.
Seaside Reservations is proud to be a Gold sponsor for the 2014 Rocky Point Rally.

The group that helped start the popularity of Cumbia throughout Latin America, Sonora Dinamita, will be coming to the Rocky Point Convention Center Saturday, September 27th.
Hits like “Mi Cucu” and “Amor de Mis Amores” brought Columbian Cumbia to a worldwide audience starting in the 1980’s. The latest incarnation of the group is still on the road, and September’s event will help local charities through the sponsorship of the Rotary Club International.
At a recent press conference, club President Eduardo Vallejo Vazquez and members of the Puerto Penasco Mar de Cortez Rotary Club announced the event. After a long history here, the Rotary Club had been dormant for a number of years. Re-accredited just his Summer, the local Rotarians are wasting no time organizing an event for the benefit of the community. Proceeds from this event will be put to good use helping the local general hospital.
Saturday, September 27th will be a night for dancing. The opening act is Los Venturas de Caborca. Tickets for Sonora Dinamita are $200 pesos, $250 at the door.
If you are coming down for the Labor Day Weekend, you are sure to notice something new on the Rocky Point skyline. This wind generator is a first for the town, and is the talest structure in the entire state of Sonora.
Wind energy seems like a natural here, and this may be the start of a project that looks to lower energy costs for local residents.
