Destination and Gateway to the Sonora Gold Coast!
Rocky Point (Puerto Peñasco) is located on the Sea of Cortéz, once described by John Steinbeck as "God's Aquarium".Far northwest within Sonora State, it is just 60 miles from the border of the United States, and little more than a three hour drive from either Phoenix or Tucson.
Rocky Point is one of the youngest cities in Sonora State. As recently as 1941, when Puerto Peñasco was declared a municipal precinct, less than 200 people lived there, mostly working as fishermen.
While fishing and other commercial uses of the port continue to thrive, with over 330 sunny day per year, proximity to all of the southwestern United States, long-established American and Canadian communities, Rocky Point has experienced an explosion of vacation, second-home, and retirement building. As a result of the explosion of housing options, Rocky Point has grown into a thriving city with many municipal, state and federal backed projects to modernize and develop a tourist-friendly environment.
These efforts include the completion of our international airport just minutes south of town, the coastal highway from El Golfo to Rocky Point and a complete re-vamping of the Old Port area -- just to name a few. All of which make Rocky Point a perfect second-home and retirement destination, as well as the best gateway to Sonora’s unspoiled Gold Coast.
Rocky Point has come of age, and today offers its homeowners and visitors numerous amenities including golf courses and spas, countless fresh seafood vendors, automobile, RV, and ATV rental, international banking, 24-hour ATM services, and a vibrant and diverse restaurant scene!
