The De Marua Estuary

This natural wonder is an awesome place to visit for fishing, shelling and just taking in the view. With the extreme tides that are common to Rocky Point, the Estuary is the best area to view this amazing water transformation. At high tide the estuary fills to resemble a large lake or extension of the Sea of Cortez that fills it. In low tide, the water reduces to a small river carrying all the remaining fish species back to the ocean. This process repeats twice a day and is awesome to witness. 4 wheel drive vehicles have access to drive down to the estuary banks. It’s also a very nice walk with many treasures to find including sea shells, sand dollars and who knows what else the ocean will leave for you to find. There are many different types of bird species that frequent this area including the resident Ospreys that build their nest atop the electric poles lining the road into the property. When the tide is high our condo offers a nearly 360 degree water view from the balcony, it’s amazing!
