Although future resort development is a possibility, Puerto Peñasco remains for now a leisurely sun, fun and fishing destination for RVers and campers. An extreme range between low and high tide, which can be more than 20 feet, characterizes the local waters. This phenomenon also occurs at San Felipe on the Baja peninsula side of the gulf. About 30 miles (48 km) north of Puerto Peñasco Mex. 8 passes near the crater-strewn landscape of Pinacate Desert National Park; the park entrance is off of Mexico Highway 2, west of Sonoita



The discovery of blue shrimp in waters off Cerro de Peñasco ("rocky point") established the village. For a time, fresh water had to be hauled from the border town of Sonoita, 60 miles away over a sandy trail (now Mexico Highway 8). The route was paved during World War II to provide a potential backup for U.S. West Coast shipping interests, then feared under attack by the Japanese. Puerto Peñasco's shrimping industry took hold in the 1950s, and the town later benefited from its easy access to North American visitors.
