Outta Town Productions (OTP) opened April on the beach in front of the Sonoran Sky Resort Condominium with typical flair by bringing over 200 traditional beach volleyball players and spectators back to Rocky Point after a one year hiatus from two decades of perennially successful tournaments along Sandy Beach…
This is a Primer for those newbies who are driving to Rocky Point from Phoenix or Tucson for the first time. To me, the trip to Rocky Point is a delight. That isn’t necessarily because of the scenery, but because of what I am about to encounter. The trip home from Rocky Point, not so much.
What am I about to encounter is, first and foremost, the Sea of Cortez with its beautiful beaches and the
Standing at the beach front of the Sonoran Sky Resort, I shake the sand off my shoes and wipe the salt from my face. It’s been a good day. A good run. I’m pleased with the settling of my heart rate and the slight burning in my quads. Today was my long run, twenty miles on the beach, and it was…
After being blown away by last year’s premier presentation of pure and colorful Mexican Folkloric music, singing and dancing, it’s hard to believe how it could be topped this year.

Some of us were lucky enough to make it through those days, others made it with nominal to serious injuries, their friends and relatives wondering if they
The pelican seen on our beaches in Puerto Peñasco is the Brown Pelican, the smallest of the seven species of pelicans that date back 40 million years with very little change especially in their distinct beak formation. Oddly enough, after surviving 40 million years, pelicans were almost rendered extinct in the 1950’s and 60’s by the use of…
There are so many reasons—over 2,500 of them actually—why Americans should support the Puerto Peñasco Red Cross with donations during their annual fundraising campaign that runs through the end of April. About this same time each year, regular visitors expect to see…

For the last four years, on the first Sunday in March (Día de la Familia) Desert Dreams Car Club of Puerto Peñasco has offered a popular stage for custom car owners from as far away as Phoenix, Yuma County, Mexicali, and several other states, and of all levels and categories to display their imagination and customizing talents manifested in the form of…
