Rocky Point Beaches - Beaches of Puerto Penasco Mexico

Rocky Point beaches and Puerto Penasco beaches are plentiful.  The areas of Rocky Point vary greatly from SANDY BEACH with it's large beaches of beautiful soft sand, to estuaries coming from the sea, to oceanfront land of rock with no beach.

Rocky Point, Mexico has beautiful beaches in only one section of town - Sandy Beach.  If you want a large, long sandy beach, this is it.  The other beaches tend to be small and rocky.  The waves vary from flat to small.  Only when there is a storm do the waves get big.  Therefore, the water is great to swim, play or just hang in to stay cool.  The ocean floor is sandy at Sandy beach and rocky in the other beaches except the estuaries.

All Rocky Point beaches are public and thus you may find locals driving to your beach.  Only certain areas directly in front of developments on private land have restricted access.

There are no nude beaches in Rocky Point.  Nude sunbathing is not allowed in any part of Mexico.  Thus keep your clothes on unless you are in a very deserted and private area.

The Tides
Tides in Rocky Point vary greatly each day.  An interesting and unusual feature of the Puerto Peñasco area is the extreme tides produced in the area. In Cholla Bay,
5 miles from the heart of Rocky Point, the difference between low and high tides can be as much as 24 feet.  The receding tide unveils tide pools and rocks on the sea floor which reveal sea life and shells.
 

Shell Collecting
