In the early 1800's, Lt. Robert H. Hardy of the British Royal Navy explored along the seacoasts of Sonora and Baja California searching for pearls and valuable minerals in the sailing vessel La Bruja. He christened the beach head Rocky Point and it was described on semiofficial maritime guides as such until General Lázaro Cárdenas, president of Mexico in the 1930's modified it to Puerto Punta Peñasco (Port Rocky Point).
During the early 1920's Americans traveled from nearby Arizona and California to find the enormous flying fish abundant in the nearby waters. For regional fisherman Rocky Point provided refuge from storms, thanks to the "the hill of the whale" a natural point of refuge, and a beautiful inlet.
For those traveling exclusively to Rocky Point (or Baja, California), a permit for your vehicle is not required. However, you still need to acquire a tourist card as well as Mexican Car Insurance Coverage.
US and Canadian car insurance is invalid in Mexico. The laws and coverage’s are quite different in Mexico in relation to car accidents and how they are administered. Comprehensive Mexico Auto Insurance is vital. You will be confined (jailhouse) and your car can be confiscated until you pay restitution viewed as damages caused by you to others. Your ability to compensate for damages you cause to others is considered above all else. This is why it is important to protect yourself with quality Mexican Auto Insurance .
Enjoy yourself with peace of mind on vacation!
