Puerto Peñasco, Mexico

Prawn Hunter!

On Monday, my brother and I took a 2 night, 3 day road trip to Puerto Peñasco, Mexico. Puerto Peñasco is about 4 hours south of Phoenix on the northern coast of the Sea of Cortéz. It's the offseason, so the beaches and town were pretty quiet.

We rented a condo at Las Palmas, which is on Sandy Beach just up the coast from the town. The town itself, known for its seafood industry, is pretty run down, but it was fun sightseeing and seeing another culture in action. The weather was nearly perfect and a good time was had by all.

I am also a fellow gringo who discovered the town of Puerto Penasco. As you mentioned the town for the most part is in disrepair and so did little to inspire me, but the people of the town captured my Corazon.
