Driving from Phoenix Arizona to Rocky Point Mexico - if you're heading over the border to Puerto Penasco, you want to know where to stop (and where NOT to stop) along the way.
We crossed over the border at Lukeville in this video, which is the easiest way to get from Phoenix to Rocky Point.
Join us on the journey, and finish up at Wrecked at the Reef with us, too :)

Thanks for sharing a fun video. Did you have to get any kind of international insurance for your car, and how much did it cost? Any issues/concerns with driving an AZ plated vehicle into and back from Mexico on this particular route?
@EmptyNesterLife
@EmptyNesterLife 13 дней назад
Yes you do need Mexico insurance for your car…our insurance agent does that for us, but you can also buy it on the way down. Ajo and Lukeville have lots of spots where you can stop. No issues driving an AZ car. Rocky Point is within a certain mileage from the border so no need to do anything special or get a vehicle permit.

I live in the west valley (Phoenix area) and my wife and I have our passports but I have been reluctant to go down there. It seems a bit complicated and I will explain what I mean. Some people tell me how cheap it is down there as far as your stay but I am finding that to be deceiving. After doing research on how much it will cost I am not sure if it's worth heading down there and honestly, I find it more expensive than San Diego. As an example of what I mean let's say a hotel is $130.00 per night so $260.00 per weekend. That's not a bad price but then you have booking fees, service fees, tax and administration fees, Mexican auto insurance, Mexican medical insurance and the horror stories of people being stopped by the police and having to pay them along with the dangers of the cartel I just can't pull the trigger (no pun intended) Some people make the argument that Phoenix is just as dangerous however at least in my case, I conceal carry all of the time here in Arizona which means I am legal to carry a firearm and I can't in Mexico. I would feel totally vulnerable down there. The other thing is if God forbid I get a flat here in Arizona or my car breaks I feel much safer here. If this happens in Mexico, who knows what will happen. What are your thoughts on what I said? BTW great video and I still want to go make no mistake but I have not been convinced it is worth it. Thanks Dave

Hi Dave, thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! I read this earlier, but wanted to wait until I had time to really address all of your points. First of all I agree it seems like nothing is cheap anymore! That being said, I think that it is relatively inexpensive when you compare it to accommodations that would be on the ocean in a place like Southern California. And while the room rates may not necessarily reflect, a huge savings, the cost of everything you do while you’re there does add up to give some good savings. Cost of food, souvenirs, entertainment, etc.. I know where you’re coming from where the concealed carry is concerned. If that is important for you to be able to do when you are on vacation, I would definitely say don’t go to Rocky Point! Best to travel with in the states that honor our Arizona concealed carry license. You probably already have resources for that, but if not, I will post a link to a book you can get that shows all 50 states, and if they honor, concealed carry licenses.

Overall though, I just want to let you know that I’ve never felt unsafe in Rocky point. I think where safety is concerned it’s just always a good idea to be respectful and aware. Also, I find that sticking to mainly tourist-friendly areas is a good policy as well. I’d say that’s true of Rocky point or any town one visits but is unfamiliar with 😊. Please keep us updated. If you do decide to go, we would love to hear your experiences.

Las Palomas condos are great. We love Los Conchas or Cholla Bay if renting a house.

Sonora does not have a city called Rocky Point, it has one call Puerto peñasco. Let go visit La ciudad del lago salado in Utah or Montaña state, what about dirt red state,

Just for your guys records is Puerto Penasco, Sonora, Mexico. Or when you search your address only uses the city and country?

It depends…we’re usually “one and done” drinkers when it comes to enjoying a cocktail so we drive ourselves. But if you do decide to tie one on, we Uber!

@@EmptyNesterLife That makes sense! I try to park as close as I can (ideally where I can see the car). I'm always worried I might be parking in some restricted area

Hola Maria! The roads are quiet...once you get through the border town, there's approximately a 1 hour stretch that is just desert.

@EmptyNesterLife

Yes. We usually contact our insurance agent, but you can also stop in Ajo on the way down. There are a lot of places there to get insurance before you cross the border
