Charly's Rock





Charly's Rock, just across the street from Totonak RV, is the closest palapa bar to home. For reasons unknown, we very seldom visit this bar/restaurant. It is situated on a rugged cliff overlooking the water. The main attraction of Charly's is the long bar at the edge of the water which is great for watching the dophins playing in the surf.

Charly's Rock was in the rebuilding stage when we first came to San Carlos three years ago as a fire had destroyed the thatched roof. They have expanded the bar into a large restaurant that specializes in seafood and Sonoran beef. Sonoran beef is famous for its tenderness and taste.

Yesterday, after three months, we finally visited Charly's Rock and surprisingly we enjoyed ourselves a great deal. We met with friends and watched the pelicans come in for the food that gets thrown over the edge. As with most palapa bars in San Carlos, the view was great. As always, Tetakawi was clearly visible.

I found this place to be excellent for a casual afternoon gathering and would go there again with a group. Again, on the washroom theme - Mexican washrooms are seldom up to Canadian standards and this was no exception.

The platform that Fred and I are standing on is used for hitting a golf ball into the water. Free drinks all day long if you hit a special target area!

So sweet to see pics of this place! It's my absolute favourite restaurant. Went all the time while I was living and teaching in Hermosillo.
