    How do we get strong Internet in Rocky Point?

    We live here full time and also needed good (usable) internet. We started with Telmex terribly slow DSL that provided 3Mbps download 500Kbps upload, too slow and occasional day-long outages. Telmex DSL was around $15/month. We then got Megacable internet that gave us around 10Mbps down, 2Mbps...

    Moving MX to USA

    Hello All, Wondering if anyone can recommend either a moving company (guy with a truck) or a van rental to move household items from RP to Peoria, AZ. We have about one van load of items to move up to the states, no big furniture, mostly boxes, so not a big U-Haul or giant moving truck. I...

    Border Report (July 2, 2020)

    We live in Penasco full time and have been here throughout the lockdown. We had medical appointments in San Diego last week so we left town on July 3rd. This was our first trip north to USA since February. No issues departing. We returned to town yesterday (7/14) and this was our experience...

    Going back across the border 5/14/2020

    Thank you Queen for your continued useful and helpful contributions to this forum. This conversation is not about the logic of the requirements, it is about what the rules are to gain access for travel to and from the town.

    Going back across the border 5/14/2020

    My understanding (based on published city announcements and RP360, etc.) is that residents can (currently) leave and then return if they are going out of town for a medical appointment. You will need documentation of residency, utility bill, etc. and proof of the medical appointment. I don't...

    Mexican news and information sources in English

    I thought it might be a good idea to provide a list of links to fact based news and information sources for people who want to read about what is going on in Mexico during this health crisis. For those of us who are residents of Puerto Penasco full time (and don't live on Facebook), it is...

    Anybody But Me Been Hearing This Ad on the Radio???

    Pool Construction Contractor

    Hello all, Looking to see if anyone can recommend someone in Rocky Point who can do shotcrete or gunnite work to build an in ground pool. They do not need to do the plumbing or wring part of the pool construction, just to concrete/rebar work. I know there are two concrete pumping boom trucks...

    Gunfire?

    Anyone have any idea what happened last night (Tuesday) at around 12:30AM? Heard several bursts of large semi-automatic fire as well as what sounded like handgun fire. It sounded like some sort of gun battle back and forth. Could not tell location but was quite loud while inside our house...

    Phone Scam - Local twist

    Hello All, Just wanted to share an experience I just had with a caller on our land line in Rocky Point... I had a caller tell me he is my "neighbor John from down the street", he spoke English perfectly, he asked "if I could do him a favor and help him out". His story was that apparently he...

    Road trip from RP to Loretto via HWY 5 & HWY 1

    Excellent info! Thanks for all the replies. From what I have read, YumaJames you are correct about the TIPS. Seems a bit odd with Baja being exempt, but I guess nothing is really odd in Mexico when it comes to rules/paperwork. (The residency/immigration process reminds me of the movie...

    Road trip from RP to Loretto via HWY 5 & HWY 1

    Thanks YumaJames and Audsley! We are debating taking the ferry now. Might be a fun adventure, but the long way around also looks to be a fun adventure. I will check the links to see if I can find updated info on the HWY5 to HWY1 construction progress. We have been to Loretto numerous times...

    Hello everyone. We are planning a two day road trip in about a month from Rocky Point to Loretto (Two-thirds down Baja on the Sea of Cortez side). From my research it looks like we can take the coastal highway from Puerto Penasco Northwest to Mexico Highway 5 and then South to Mexico Highway...
