    Live in the southwest? Got a weekend to get away. Check out Rocky Point, Mexico! This incredible beach town leaves me speechless every time i go. With incredible sunsets and local flair; it's the perfect place to escape for some time away. There is a variety of places to stay, but I always try to stay at the Las Conchas Beach house district. The houses are beautiful, cheap and there is miles of private beaches to relax on. Going to the fish market is a must. Bartering for overpriced local souvenirs is all part the experience.
