Puerto Peñasco Travel Guide
Rocky Point, Sonora, Mexico
Welcome to
Life As It Should Be
Puerto Peñasco — known to generations of travelers as Rocky Point — sits on the shores of the Sea of Cortez in Sonora, Mexico. It's the closest ocean beach to much of Arizona, a popular beach road trip from Phoenix or Tucson. Allow extra time for border crossings and check current travel information before departure.
The water is warm, the tide pools are full of life, and the sunsets over the Sea of Cortez are the stuff of legend. The malecón (boardwalk) is alive with fresh seafood stands, mariachi, and the kind of easygoing energy that makes you want to stay another day.
Whether you come for the resort pools, the fishing, the ATV rides on the dunes, or simply to watch the tide come in, Rocky Point delivers the kind of vacation that feels effortless — exactly the way a vacation should.
Where to Stay in Rocky Point

A five-bedroom beachfront villa gives large families and groups space to gather, while a two-bedroom condo or penthouse suits a smaller group. Bella Sirena and Costa Diamante offer Sandy Beach settings; compare the location, photos and amenities on each listing to find the right fit.
