In 1810, the retired Lt. Robert Hardy of the English Royal Navy was voyaging by the sea-coasts of Sonora and Baja seeking pearls, ivory, and silver in the sailing ship La Bruja. He christened the beach head Rocky Point and it was described on semiofficial maritime guides as such until General Lázaro Cárdenas, president of Mexico in the 1930’s modified it to Puerto Punta Peñasco (Port Rocky Point).

During the early 1920’s Americans traveled from nearby Arizona and California to find the enormous flying fish abundant in the nearby waters. For territorial fishermen Rocky Point offered safety from violent storms, thanks to the “the mound of the whale” a perfect point of refuge, and a beautiful harbor.

For those visiting Rocky Point (or the Baja Peninsula), a vehicle permit is not necessary. However, you still need to acquire a tourist card as well as Mexico Insurance Coverage.

US and Canadian car insurance is invalid in Mexico. The laws and coverage’s are quite different in Mexico in relation to car accidents and how they are administered. Comprehensive Mexican Insurance is vital. You will be detained (jail) and your vehicle can be impounded until you pay damages deemed to have been caused by you to others. Your ability to pay for damages the authorities say you’ve caused to other people is viewed above all else. This is why it is important to protect yourself with quality Mexican Auto Insurance

Enjoy yourself with peace of mind on vacation!
