From volleyball courts, cornhole, a stage for concerts, and more. You can also directly swim on the beach or purchase goods from some local vendors! He talks to a bartender as he makes some of their most poular blended drinks including a pina colada, strawberry margarita, and their famous Chango Sucio which means dirt monkey! It's a combination of Kahlua, banana liqueur, and Malibu Rum.

Inside, ‘Wrecked’ boasts 14 high def TV’s to watch the game, and another stage!

The property itself is very spacious - with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. Of course, the outdoor tables are popular as you are sitting right on the beach.

Live music at Wrecked deserves a special mention. Popular house band La Merca covers everything, and has been rocking’ the place for many years. Every weekend is a mini music festival, with performers from Arizona playing from early afternoon till closing time. Wrecked has a lazy beach-vibe during the day, and a mellow party under the stars feeling after ther sun sets. There is a reason you see their merchandise everywhere around town!

Wrecked is right on the beach past the Sandy Beach Resorts, on the way to Cholla Bay. Right next door is popular Mare Blu Ristorante, serving up great Italian food.
