(Aerodromo International Puerto Penasco)
 
Many people don't know that Puerto Penasco has its own small airport, catering to light aircraft. It has two runways (one asphalt, one gravel) and has been undergoing upgrades over the last few years to keep pace with Penasco's growing rate of air travel. Peñasco’s International Airport (Rocky Point Airport) is located at Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, Mexico and surrounded by a magnificent view of the “Mar de Cortes”. 

The following infomation was extracted from http://www.therockypointairport.com/english/nosotros.htm

The Peñasco Airport has experienced a number of stages of growth. It is a fully equipped airport so that if you are just in transit or visiting, you will have a pleasant and smoothly-run experience.
 
It was founded during the 1940s when "Mexicana de Aviación" inaugurated its route Mexico City-Mexicali, with a stopover in Puerto Peñasco. The airport consisted of an office with a telegraph operator who provided information about route conditions. In 1973, the current runway was built together with a small terminal building.On August 5, 1994, it was declared an International Airport by the then president of Mexico, Carlos Salinas de Gortari. This benefited pilots landing in Puerto Peñasco, who, prior to that, had to register with customs and immigration authorities in Nogales, Sonora or in Mexicali.
On September 28, 2005, a new phase began the most significant in the development of Peñasco’s International Airport.

The airport has many amenities including but not limited to:
