About

Puerto Peñasco/Rocky Point, Mexico

Puerto Peñasco, or Rocky Point to Americans, is a small fishing and resort village on the Sea of Cortez in Mexico. Puerto Peñasco is just 60 miles from the United States border, making it a popular choice for visitors from the southwestern United States since it’s just a bit over 3 hours from Phoenix. Visitors come to Rocky Point for the beautiful white sand beaches, seafood, fishing, and relaxed atmosphere.

While you’re in Puerto Peñasco, make sure to take an ecotour to check out the tidal pools full of interesting ocean life. The nearby Pinacante Biosphere offers unique views of volcanic craters and dramatic natural landscapes. Take a boat trip out to Bird Island to spot many protected avian species and a large colony of sea lions!
