Directions to Rocky Point

From Phoenix

If you are starting from Phoenix, take I-10 West to State Highway 85 South. Follow 85 through Gila Bend, Ajo, and Why until you reach the Mexican border.

Follow these signs, and you will eventually end up on Mexico Route 8, which leads straight to Puerto Penasco.

From Tucson

If you are starting from Tucson, you have several options. You can take Valencia Road, which becomes State Highway 86 heading west. Alternatively, you can use Ajo Way or I-19 (Ajo Exit), both of which head west. Once on Highway 86, continue west through Sells and Quijotoa (these towns are on the Papago Indian Reservation – Tohono O’Odham) until you reach the town of Why. Turn left onto State Highway 85 South and follow it to Lukeville, Arizona, at the Mexican border. Once you cross the border, follow the signs to Sonoita and then Puerto Penasco.

Alternate Route from Yuma into Mexico onto Penasco

If you’re coming from the west and going through Yuma anyway, you can also cut down from Yuma, cross the border, and take another route which involves more driving in Mexico. From Yuma, take the 95 south through Somerton to San Luis at the border. Cross into Sonora, hit the 2 and go east until you hit the 8 in Sonoyta, and then continue down to Penasco on the 8. This route takes you around the north tip of Pinacate and through some other volcanic/mountain formations.
