Who This House Is Best For

Why Guests Choose Cholla Bay Over Downtown Rocky Point
Cholla Bay is where Arizona families have been coming for generations to slow down. It is quieter than the Sandy Beach resort strip and downtown, the streets are relaxed, and the bay is famous for tide pools at low tide and calm water at high tide.
What Is Close to the House
- The water, about 100 feet from the house
- JJ's Cantina, a Cholla Bay institution since 1984 for food, drinks, and sunsets over the bay, right across the street
- Tide pools that appear when the bay drains at low tide (check the tide chart)
What Is a Short Drive Away
- Sandy Beach and the resort strip, about 10 minutes
- Downtown Rocky Point, the Malecón, and the fish market, about 15 to 20 minutes
- Fishing charters, sunset cruises, and ATV rentals (see things to do)
