Good old Rocky Point or Puerto Penasco has been a destination for most folks north of the border for a long time. A fishing village that goes way back is really close to the border and only about an hour from the town of Sonoita. Puerto Penasco offers an escape for all that want to relax and enjoy life.
When I used to travel to Rocky Point, the beaches were barren with people off roading along the beach all hours of the day and night. If you venture there now you will see towering condos that line the beaches now and you are not allowed to off road on the beaches anymore.
The condos have opened up a lot for the town of Rocky Point. It has helped the local economy by supplying jobs to locals and increasing tourism. Folks from all over have bought condos for retirement homes and thus, have invested in the town of Puerto Penasco.
Sitting from your condo you can view the ocean from an 8th floor condo and see dolphins swimming in the ocean or birds diving for fish. You can see the shrimp boats going out at night to catch their limit. You can see people flying their ultra lights out over the ocean and landing off in the distance on some sandy runway. People are having a blast in Rocky Point and they can relax knowing they are only 45 minutes from the border.
For people who live in California, roads have opened up so they can drive to Puerto Penasco. Not only has the road to California opened up, but flights into Rocky Point is now available and will be more available to more towns as time passes on. You also have the chain of Mayan Palaces who have taken up residence just a few minutes out side of Rocky Point. Once you are here, you will be amazed at the food that is offered and will come back for more and more.
Rocky Point used to be known solely for its fishing but now you can also find activities like boating, sailing, dolphin or whale watching, dinner cruises and jet skiing to name just a few. Everyone can find something to do and there are many scheduled activities throughout the year. Watching a sunset in Puerto Penasco is a life changer and will most certainly make an impression on you.
With Househunters International recently airing a live show from the sands of Sandy Beach, Rocky Point is on the international map of places to go. I don't see any change in this and it will continue to grow. Cruise ships will be docked in Rocky Point in the very near future and a lot of money has been invested in this. Along with the international airport, this small fishing town will continue to grow.
