Rocky Point January Rundown!
..and just like that, it is January 2022. Last year did not hold back as it washed its way out to sea, taking much of Puerto Peñasco’s streets and electricity with it. For most, the power outage only lasted about 3 hours, though clean-up efforts still continue across the community. Numerous homes, offices, and organizations […]
Navidad Rundown!
It’s nearly Navidad, and then Año Nuevo …and 2022! Whew! The lights and sounds of Christmas have been echoing across the Sea of Cortez for a minute now, temps have dropped down to heavier jacket weather early mornings and evenings, gifts and food baskets continue to go out, and the sun is shining over Puerto […]
December Rocky Point Rundown
December kicked off with the nightly pilgrimages in honor of Mexico’s patron saint, the Virgen de Guadalupe. The evening processionals, departing from the Old Port each day at 5 p.m. (Dec 1st-11th), wind their way to the Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe Church on Ave. Simon Morua, often accompanied by fireworks and music. This all leads […]

March. On! Rocky Point Rundown!
As we look to March, we recall this is generally when Rocky Point revs up its Spring Break season…leading to Semana Santa. Last year, Rocky Point was in full Spring Break mood when the pandemic hit our playas and we all sat it out…for a while. Tourism and the economy has been inching back since […]
Coastal distancing – Rocky Point Weekend Rundown
It’s been nearly 8 months since 2020 put Puerto Peñasco and the rest of the world on a time-out. Just as our extreme tides, the ebb and flow of guidelines and health protocols has kept us on our toes as the city has crept back to life. Mexico’s weekly “semaforo” health alert map tells us […]
Rocky Point Strong – Rundown
It’s been about a week since our lives in Rocky Point were sent into a tailspin as both the State of Sonora and the local administration launched preventive health campaigns in an effort to combat Covid-19 – #QuedateEnCasa (Stay at Home) and “Fuerza Peñasco” (Peñasco Strong). One by one, local businesses first announced reduced hours, […]

ShamRocked! Rocky Point Weekend Rundown!
Sponsored this week by Peñasco Beauty Center – celebrating 10 years in Puerto Peñasco! It’s heating up, and we don’t mean just because Spring Break was steaming.
