Puerto Peñasco, or Rocky Point, is only 60 miles south of the Arizona border, and is a mere four-hour drive from either Phoenix or Tucson.

It’s the closest beach getaway for most folks in the state and while it’s been a popular vacation spot for decades, it has only recently come into its own as a resort town.

Not to worry – Rocky Point still caters to budget-minded campers and RV’ers, but now it’s also got new resorts and, like the more upscale Mexican seaside resorts of Cabo San Lucas and Puerta Vallarta, Rocky Point has become a magnet for the college spring-break crowd.
Puerto Peñasco could have been an Arizona seaport.

The United States Congress paid $10 million for the territory that now makes up the southern portions of New Mexico and Arizona, in a deal known as the Gadsden Purchase. One of the original plans of the Purchase included the northern Baja seaport as part of Arizona, but negotiations between the two countries eventually pared it down to the state’s present-day borders.

Rocky Point was long a sleepy fishing village, not discovered in a big way by tourists until the ’50s as a quick beach getaway by car. Fishing and tourism remain Rocky Point’s most important industries.
