Puerto Penasco, Mexico

This beach community, known as Rocky Point by the locals, is located 210 miles southwest of Tucson, Arizona (65 miles south of the U.S. border) and has come into prominence as a tourist spot within the last few years, but the town has been here since the 1930s (one of its earliest famous gringo visitors was Al Capone).  It is a fishing village, with the Sonora desert on one side and the beautiful Sea of Cortez on the other, and it  has just started to develop its tourism angle.  In other words, Puerto Penasco isn't Cancun or Puerto Vallarta.  At least not yet!
