Sunsets are one of the things I love about Rocky Point.
As promised here are tips for the beach to have the best possible experience. You really need as many swimsuits as possible for your kids. They get wet, they get dry, they change, they don't want to change back into the wet suit, it gets super sandy and dirty and you have to wash it out, they need a different one in the meantime, etc. There are a million reasons why this is true but it is most defintely true. Because we swim so much it is not a big deal for us - the kids already have at least 6 or 7 suits each, but for those who don't have a ton of swimwear already I would highly recommend you not consider anything less than 2 suits per kid. 3 would be better. They don't need tons of clothes because they'll be in their swimsuits most of the time.
Towells, Towells, Towells, Towells, you need A LOT of towells. You cannot imagine how frustrating it is to find every towell you brought is full of sand and/or damp. There are towells in the house which I highly recommend stay in the house. But for the beach you need a minimum of 2 towells per member of your family. 3 is better!
I also highly recommend buying swim socks. Target usually starts to carry them right about now - if not now, then in the next few weeks they'll be getting them. They are also known as water socks. Every member of your family should have some (ESPECIALLY the younger kids), they are basically essential. This is the only way to save your feet on the rocks and sand.
Toys for the beach - obviously the usual sand toys are always fun, beach balls that can be blown up when you get there, boogy boards if you have them, or anything of that nature keep the kids happy for hours.
All this talk of swim suits, sand and water reminds me - CHAFFING is a problem ALWAYS. Bring something to help treat it because your kids are definitely going to need it about day 2.
I love Rocky Point and I'm getting really excited about going this year!

From Kyle and Tammy (1/23: New question - I recently heard on the news that you now need a passport for to enter Mexico. At one time we talked about just needing a certified birth certificate. Do you know what the current requirement is for crossing the border? If we need passports, I'll need to get going on it as soon as possible. Thanks!
