We stayed there several times. The pros are that you can get good spaces like beachfront or on the ends of the rows because it's less crowded. We stored our trailer there for a couple of years after Playa Elegante closed. It was inexpensive and very secure. You can store there without having...

I love that store. I think it's a lot better than Super Ley's, but they don't have a huge selection. If you just want the basics, this is a great store.

Do you know your way around Rocky Point? I can't give you the exact directions, but there is a meat market in what I call the "downtown" area that sells the most delicious meat I've ever tasted. There is also a produce store, I think just past the railroad tracks in the area where La Curva is...

I'm sure there are people in Penasco that have the same dietary needs as you. I don't know exactly what you do eat, but I'm positive that you can find something in the grocery stores that's on your list. You can't expect a country to change the law to accommodate you.

I can certainly understand anyone who is "afraid" to buy their food and water in Rocky Point, as I would feel the same if I were going to a small beach town in other areas of Mexico. We've been going down long enough that we know which grocery store will have what we are looking for and how to...

Dollars for Pecos? Who is Pecos? I might be interested! Sorry Az Dan, I couldn't resist. Just kidding of course!

I haven't been to Rocky Point in two years but we used to go down there about a dozen times a year for 35 years. We brought anything and everything when it came to food in our RV. Did something change? We stocked the cabinets and refigerator full before we left. When Playa Elegante closed...

My son works for a large international company and he recently told me he went to Rocky Point for a corporate meeting. I was surprised, shocked actually. This may be something that will get built and bring lots of people to RP.

I couldn't agree more. Ixtapa/Zhuatanejo is my second favorite port after Roatan. We have been to just about every Mexican port of call there is. All of our cruises were out of San Diego or Los Angeles. I think we did Ixtapa on Royal Caribbean. The Cabo/Matzatlan/Puerto Vallarta are boring...

We were stopped a few years ago coming back into the US. We had to pull over, get out and stand on a marked spot on the concrete while they searched our car and fifth wheel. The officer kept apologizing to us and tell us it was a random thing they had to do. Two guys, searched for about five...

We had to buy a battery down there once a few years ago and it was expensive. You're better off buying it here and hauling it down.

I don't think any cruise line tethers to a home port. I'm very curious about a home port in Puerto Penasco because the major cruise lines have cancelled so many Mexico cruises out of L.A. and San Diego. They couldn't fill the ships because the media has made Mexico to be so dangerous. Are they...

Hi Chari You mentioned in a previous post about the "known drug areas". Where is that? Like Gringa we haven't been down since the beginning of 10. This is the longest we have ever gone without our RP fix. We were planning on going down in January, but then I saw a few stories on this board...

The child was only 8 years old. She died. I just heard 18 shot, 6 killed including a Federal judge. Sad.

I could see Rocky Point being a port of call. I've been to many Mexican ports of call and they are pretty much like Rocky Point. The majority of shore excursions involve water. Scuba diving is popular, parasailing, waverunners, etc. Many ports offer beach chairs through a beachfront resort...

Check your PM's.

Please be careful if you are renting a condo in RP that you know exactly what you will have to pay before you arrive. I found an ad for a 2bd/2ba condo that offered three nights for $376. It was an ad from a "private party" not a rental agency. I sent the party an email asking if they would take...

We're planning to go down the week of January 11th for a little R&R, but for me it's to buy my shrimp for the year (about 35lbs.) I always buy from Alberto/Jessie. Do you think he will be closed? Are the shrimp vendors closed on weekdays? Are they ALL open on weekends? If we can't get...

My memory of Manny's is of my toddler grandson (who is 18 now) going there with us and being able to order for himself. He loved fish & chips and it was #33 on the menu. He didn't talk much, but he could say "thirty twee" every time we went there to eat - and there were many, many times. When...

Good for you, Chari! Hubby always tells me I talk too much but more times than not, it pays off!
