Playa Encanto is a quiet residential community situated along the eastern coastline of Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, Mexico, approximately 10 to 15 minutes east of the town center near Estero Morúa. Unlike the high-rise resort corridors of Sandy Beach, Playa Encanto is primarily a low-density neighborhood composed of custom oceanfront villas, ocean-view homes, townhomes, and vacant residential lots. Properties range from two-bedroom coastal cottages to multi-story beachfront residences exceeding 5,000 square feet with attached garages, ground-level patios, and roof terraces. Architectural designs vary by property, featuring Spanish Colonial and coastal Mexican elements such as stucco exteriors, red tile roofs, brick Bóveda dome ceilings, and Cantera stone accents.
