Rocky Point, Mexico - a great Paradise to live and visit

2010-02-23T19:26:00Z

Rocky Point working to boost its image with tourists, students

79 commentsby Ryan Van Velzer - Feb. 18, 2010 12:02 PM
Cronkite News Service

PUERTO PENASCO, Mexico- Stepping through tide pools and gathering seashells with his wife and two young daughters, Jamison Haponenko said a State Department travel alert and media reports of drug violence along the border didn't concern him as he planned a vacation here.

Spring break in Rocky Point

OAS_AD('ArticleFlex_1')

He's been coming to this tourist spot for 15 years, and to him Rocky Point, as this city is commonly referred to in the U.S., is a world apart.

"We've brought our daughters down here a couple of times already, and there have never been any problems," said Haponenko, who lives in Pueblo, Colo.

Fausto Soto, the city's director of international relations and tourism, said Rocky Point needs a lot more people like Haponenko. He and others argue forcefully that the drug violence in Mexican border towns such as Ciudad Juarez, Nogales and Tijuana doesn't happen here.

But that hasn't spared Rocky Point from a decline in U.S. tourists, a problem Soto said is exacerbated by a new requirement that U.S. citizens traveling to Mexico carry passports and H1N1 flu fears that have curbed travel.

With many residents and businesses here relying on tourism, Soto and other community leaders are trying to get their message out: Rocky Point is safe.

"We need to work on the fears that people have about coming down to Puerto Penasco," Soto said.

Director of Public Security Francisco Macias said Rocky Point is a good place to vacation because it is the safest city in the state of Sonora, citing government statistics. He said drug cartels aren't interested in Rocky Point because there aren't many ways to get in and out of the city.

Visitors heading to Rocky Point can expect to see more police and ambulances in town and on the main highway leading here from Arizona, Macias said, and officials also are arranging for more roadside assistance for people whose cars break down.

Soto's department has worked with the city's Chamber of Commerce and the Visitor's Bureau to revive a five-day Mardi Gras celebration, the Rocky Point Carnaval, bringing fireworks, live music and rides to the beachfront.

Oscar Palacio, general director of Playa Bonita hotel and president of Rocky Point's Convention and Visitors Bureau, said events such as Carnaval help make Rocky Point more appealing to tourists. And he could use that appeal: Business at Playa Bonita hotel has been in decline through the last two years, he said.

"I know that in the future things are going to be compared to 2009 and what we did in 2010 to show progress," Palacio said.

Palacio and other city leaders will be holding their breath until the U.S. State Department issues a new statement about travel to Mexico, as an alert issued last year was set to expire on Saturday, Feb. 20.

However, State Department spokesman Darby Holladay said the department will probably issue another travel advisory. "I would not expect any deviation from the language of the current one," he said.

Another hurdle is the perception at Arizona's universities, which issued their own warnings last year about spring break travel to Mexico. Soto recently met with officials at the University of Arizona to promote Rocky Point as a safe destination.

Dean of Students Carol Thompson said UA officials would wait to see whether the State Department renews its travel advisory before deciding what to do this year, but she called the meeting a valuable opportunity to discuss what Rocky Point has done to improve safety.

"It's important to have this relationship," Thompson said.

Officials said Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University don't plan to issue warnings this year but will direct students to the State Department's Web site.

However, it's going to take more than just meetings with university officials to turn things around for Rocky Point, said Erik Lee, associate director at Arizona State University's North American Center for Transborder Studies.

Lee said city leaders need to market Rocky Point directly to students, perhaps by setting booths on campus.

"They haven't picked all the low-hanging fruit," he said.

Meanwhile, Guillermo Parra, owner of the Dugout, a popular sports bar in Rocky Point's tourist district, is waiting anxiously to see what this spring break brings. He said his business has dropped by more than half the past two tourist seasons, leaving him and daughter as the only employees.

"We need the people back," Parra said.

Walking through Rocky Point's fish market, an area rich in curio shops and restaurants, William Bakely of Prescott, Ariz., said this city shouldn't be compared to other parts of Mexico when it comes to safety.

"I feel as safe as I would be in Phoenix," Bakely said.

For great food on your next trip stop by BROTHERS PIZZA

Brother Pizza is located right next to Rosies Restuarant in route to Sandy Beach. Family owned with great food, service and prices make sure and stop by for a pizza or a slice your next time in town.

Great article from Join Us about Brothers Pizza in Rocky Point Puerto Penasco Mexico

Brothers Pizza Has Successful Grand Opening

As another example that Puerto Peñasco Rocky Point Mexico continues to be an excellent place to invest, on June 26th “Brothers Pizza” successfully opened up its doors to the community. The new restaurant is located on No Reelección (the principal road leading to the developments) at the corner of Constitution (in the former location of Churros and Burros), offering yet another excellent option to delight the palate. The quality of Brothers’ pizzas, and in fact the entire menu, along with the relaxing atmosphere created through its decoration and magnificent service offered by the Rabicoff family and staff, make this a perfect place to enjoy time with the entire family.

Here you may choose from a wide selection, from exquisite salads to classic pizzas, and servings from a single slice up to three different sizes. Prices are very accessible!

Make sure to stop by on your way in or out of town but better on your way in because one trip will leave you wanting more.
