Puerto Peñasco is a small city within the municipality of the same name, lying in the northwestern part of the state of Sonora, Mexico. Located on the shore of the Gulf of California (also known as the Sea of Cortés), the town is known for its fishing and tourism industries. Puerto Peñasco is alternatively known among many of its English speaking visitors as Rocky Point, although the translation of the name is actually Rocky Port.
The municipality borders the other thinly-populated state municipalities of San Luis RC, Sonora, Sonoyta, Sonora, and Caborca, Sonora, as well as Yuma County, Arizona in the United States.
The area features wide variations between high and low tides. With the shallowly sloping sea bed, this can lead to dramatic changes in the waterline twice a day. At the eastern beaches, this reveals a rocky reef with abundant sea life.
The Sonoran Desert (sometimes called the Gila Desert after the Gila River or the Low Desert in opposition to the higher Mojave Desert) is a North American desert which straddles part of the United States-Mexico border and covers large parts of the US states of Arizona and California and the Mexican states of Sonora and Baja California.
Puerto Peñasco is also slated for upcoming marina and other boat related developments as part of the country's 'Escalera Nautica' efforts, which call for a chain of tourist class marinas sprinkled up and down the Baja coast in an effort to promote nautical tourism.
