About
The Mirador area stretches about 1.5 miles along the Sea of Cortez, with Blvd. Freemont running parallel on the north side. For years, it’s been one of Rocky Point’s favorite beach spots thanks to its classic beach bars, convenient location, and lively yet laid-back vibe.
What’s Near Playa Mirador?
This is the place to find some of Rocky Point’s original and most popular beach bars, including:
- Manny’s Beach Club
- Baja Cantina
- Pitaya
- Pink Cadillac
These spots are favorites with spring breakers and locals alike. You can sit right on the sand, enjoy great music, and grab food and drinks. Fun extras include bingo a couple of days a week at Manny’s and Pitaya, pool tournaments and cards at Jill’s, darts at the Pink Cadillac, and even yoga classes twice a week at Manny’s.
The beach here is lined with condos, plus two RV parks. Many Americans call the Mirador area home, living in apartments, houses, Playa del Oro, and the nearby condos.
What’s the Beach Like?
Mirador Beach has a rockier shoreline compared to the softer sands farther south in Las Conchas, but it’s excellent for snorkeling. If you have a small fishing boat, you can launch it from Playa del Oro.
What makes this beach so popular is its super convenient, walkable location close to downtown. It’s easy to spend the day at the beach and then stroll to bars, restaurants, or shops.

There are four hotels in the area. One sits right on the beach next to Playa del Oro RV park, Baja Cantina has its own hotel, another is next door to it, and the fourth is near Capone’s.
