Puerto Peñasco - Rocky Point
The beachside community of Puerto Peñasco, also known as
Rocky Point, is a popular tourist location for visitors from north
of the border. Rocky Point has experienced an explosion of
development and international investment over the past few
years, and has grown to a major tourist destination that offers
a variety of tourism attractions and activities.
Just a short 62-mile drive from the Lukeville-Sonoyta border
crossing, Rocky Point is easily accessible from Arizona. Also,
since it is located in Sonora’s Free Trade Zone, border
crossing and customs requirements are a breeze.
Opportunities for relaxation and fun abound in Rocky Point.
Whether you just want to relax on the beach, sip a margarita
at one of the local cantinas, or enjoy the cuisine in a fine
restaurant, you can forget your troubles here.
And the traveler who wants activity and adventure won’t be
disappointed. Enjoy a variety of water sports in the beautiful
Sea of Cortez, go diving, or explore the local bays and inlets
in a charter – all are available at affordable prices. And don’t
forget, the nightlife here is legendary.
Side trips include the natural biosphere reserve of “El
Pinacate,” a 25-mile drive northwest of Rocky Point in the Altar
desert, or a visit to the pueblo of Caborca. Both destinations
are best visited in a time of year other than the summer, as
they both have extremely hot summer climates.
