Rocky Point remains a safe and peaceful place to visit

One of the most beautiful places on earth, by the Sea of Cortez, you will find a sleepy little fishing village, that is peaceful and safe!

Spring Brake is upon us, the beach is full of happy vacationers, on Arizonas Beach! Condos on the beach are booked full!! Come to Rocky Point!

Rocky Point, Mexico, a picturesque fishing village also known as Puerto Peñasco. ...

by Dennis Wagner It's midafternoon on the beach.

A lone sunbather shimmers in the distant expanse of white sand.

Pelicans glide over the sparkling Gulf of California, lifting and diving in a light breeze. Only two other people are visible along the shore, a couple holding hands as waves lap against their ankles.
No cartel assassins are shooting it out.

No machine-gun-toting federales stand guard.

The sunbather, Beth Smith of Payson, awakens with a start. "Oh, no," she says, touching her sunburned face. "It's just so peaceful here, I fell asleep. And now, I'm going to be fried."

Such is the plight of tourism in Puerto Peñasco, a Mexican town better known in Arizona as Rocky Point and long regarded as Arizona's beachfront.

Amid an economic recession and drug wars in Sonora, U.S. visitors, once the town's economic lifeblood, are staying away in record numbers. Since 2008, when 2.4 million people swarmed here, the Rocky Point tourism office reports a 50 percent drop in visitors.

Americans who live and work here seem bewildered by the loss of allure for a town that remains a gem by the sea. more.............
