Puerto Penasco has incredible crescents of white sand beach stretching
for miles, dunes and deserts backed by stunning mountains, fine fishing and sailing, glorious blue skies and blue-green water.
Puerto Penasco also attracts a fair number of tourists. Beautiful beaches, good food and plenty of restaurants make this an
ideal weekend getaway. Explore beautiful beaches such as Playa Arenosa (Sandy Beach), Cholla Bay, Playa de Oro, Playa Hermosa,
Los Conchos, Mirador and Miramar.
Once a small fishing retreat, the area has become ideal for a hideaway,
second home or resort opportunity. The recent repeal of Mexican Law, now allows foreigners to own land on the coast.

Mexico Auto Insurance
Yes, you need Mexican Insurance to drive in Mexico. No, they
do not check at the border but if you are in an accident in Mexico and do not have Mexican Insurance you will be taken to
the police station and possibly jailed. Mexico does not recognize U.S. insurance policies. It is against the law to drive
in Mexico without Mexican Insurance. The minimum coverage you need is liability but you may want full coverage if your U.S.
insurance carrier does not cover you in Mexico. There are a number of places before and at the border where you can purchase
Mexican Insurance. It can be purchased on a daily basis or longer at a very low cost.
