Originally a remote fishing village, Puerto Penasco (also known as Rocky Point) has become one of Mexico’s fastest growing tourist destinations. Located on the beautiful Sea of Cortez, it is a beach lover’s paradise. It has a lot to offer for a vacation and is perfect for all types of travelers.
The beach at Rocky Point is long, clean and stretches for miles. The water is clear and great for snorkeling and scuba diving. You can also find a number of activities to do on the water such as jet skis and banana boat rides.
Make sure to visit during low tide so you can walk the wide stretch of sand and collect seashells. It’s also a great time to take photos!
You can also enjoy a variety of restaurants and bars in the Malecon. It’s a great place to spend your evenings. There are many hotels in the area, and you can even get a suite that is right on the beach.
If you are looking for a more laid back vacation, there are also a number of vacation rentals in the area. There are luxury homes as well as budget options. Most VRBOs are in walking distance to the beach or close by.
If you are looking for a quicker way to travel, you can always take a bus from El Paso. The companies Calafia, Volaris and Viva Aerobus offer buses from El Paso to Puerto Penasco every day. The journey takes around 15h 7m.
