FROM PHOENIX

Take I-10 West out of Phoenix to State Highway 85 South. Follow 85 through Gila Bend, Ajo and Why until you reach the Mexican Border. For information on the border crossing, see our Customs information page.

Just over the U.S./Mexican border is the Mexican town of Sonoita. Stay to the right and there are signs which direct you through town to Puerto Penasco. Just keep a lookout for them. They will place you on Mexico Route 8 and an almost straight run to Puerto Penasco, commonly known as Rocky Point. There are a few sharp turns though so stay alert & preferably drive only during the daytime.

ALTERNATE ROUTE FROM YUMA INTO MEXICO AND 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. See this link for a rough overview.
