Even boaters who are summering over for months in the upper end of the Sea of Cortez have probably never seen a vaquita. Rapidly Disappearing — Killed by shark nets, these tiny vaquita
porpoise are members of a species that is almost extinct. Mexico has
pledged $16 million to help preserve remaining populations of this
unique marine mammal, endemic to the Sea of Cortez.
The vaquita porpoise is so tiny and shy that its existence wasn’t
described in science until 1958. Before the Upper Sea of Cortez
Biosphere Reserve was created, commercial fishing took its toll.

2 Puerto Peñasco dining treasures

Special for The Republic

PUERTO PEÑASCO, Sonora - Finding a good restaurant in Rocky Point can be tricky. You either can end up in a tourist trap, eating poor imitations of familiar foods, or you can find a place so authentic that all you can order are brains and innards.
What if you want local flavor without deviating too much from the familiar?
Two restaurants near the fish market in Old Town fill the bill. Though many restaurants along the water serve decent fare, the constant pressure to hire mariachis ruins the enjoyment of the meal and the relaxation you might experience from the sound of crashing waves. More tranquil settings are available a stone's throw away. Leave the bustling main street behind and walk one block up the hill.

Here is a nice write-up from the Houston Chronicle. It profiles a recent trip to Rocky Point as well as the potential of Rocky Point as a resort destination. This is good press as it really exposes the fact that Rocky Point has a broader reach than just Arizona. The author stayed at the Sonoran Sun Resort.

If you hate the wait at the border on Sundays. Las Palmas Beachfront Resort is currently offering Sunday night for 1/2 price during March and April. This allows you to avoid the Sunday wait, relax
another day and come home when the border is more user-friendly.

To those cappuccino lovers with a sweet tooth!...Churros and Burros. Yes, this is the place. It has many other types of food but I was amazed by the taste of their original churro (cinnamon sugar, they also have churros with fillings) and their Vanilla Capuccino!!!!!!. I love coffe and Sugar Free Vanilla Latte is usually my Starbucks choice but this was very very close to it and maybe better.
I found out they are opening 2 other locations in Penasco. The one I went to was on Freemont Blvd in a plaza named Placita Melanie. I recommended, it was worth the stop...I needed that coffee :)
