Come To Rocky Point | Rocky Point CVB

What To Do & See

It's a seaside-postcard Saturday afternoon in Puerto Penasco, where the Sonoran Desert meets
the 700-mile-long Gulf of California, 60 miles southwest of the Arizona border with Mexico. Unique ocean conditions in this town create extreme tides of up to 23 ft. between high and low, and this also produces a unique marine life. Swimming in the area is very safe and emulates lake conditions with no rip tides and a very calm water unless it is windy. You can watch the sunrise and the sunset on the same ocean horizon.
