Rocky Pointe DirectionsThis is a featured page


From Phoenix....

  • Travel west on I-10 from Phoenix to the State Route 85 exit.
  • Head south on SR 85, through the outskirts of Buckeye and on to Gila Bend.
  • Continue west through Gila Bend and turn right just before McDonalds. This turn is marked with a sign stating “Mexico” and “SR 85 South”.
  • Continue south on SR 85 to Ajo.
  • Continue south on SR 85 from Ajo. Next civilization is “Why”, AZ. The stop at Why usually has about the best gas prices between Phoenix and the border. Flores and Sons Chevron in Why has recently added an ATM.
  • Continue south through Organ Pipe National Monument to the border at Lukeville, AZ. Last stop prior to Mexico. The settlement at Lukeville is called “Gringo Pass” and has all facilities available if there was anything you forgot. There is a well stocked grocery store, etc. but the prices are pretty steep.
  • Crossing the border at Lukeville, AZ/Sonoita, Sonora, Mexico. If you are only going to Puerto Peñasco (Rocky Point) or Bahia la Cholla (Cholla Bay) you do not need a passport or visa since these towns are located in the Mexican “Free Zone”.
  • Getting through Sonoita.... Once across the border you will continue south into Sonoita. The speed limit here is fairly slow so be careful. Driving in Mexico is not a problem as long as you drive defensively.
  • About 2 miles from the border you will come to a three way intersection. Stay to the left (towards Caborca). Do not take the direction to San Luis.
  • About 1 block south of there the road will split into a “Y”. “Pharmacia San Luis” will be on your right just before the “Y”. Stay to the right and you will be on the road to Rocky Point.
  • You will pass “Vasquez’s” on your left if you have made the correct turn. There is a traffic light soon after “Vasquez’s” that is easy to miss if you don’t know it is there.
  • The highway from Sonoita to Puerto Peñasco is approximately 50 miles of open range.You will know you are close to Rocky point when you start seeing sand dunes.
