WHY ROCKY POINT FOR YOUR WEDDING?WHY ROCKY POINT FOR YOUR WEDDING?

Answer

Rocky Point has always been a place that has been near to heart. It was the place Bryan & Dani met in 2016!

Question

IS IT SAFE TO TRAVEL TO PUERTO PENASCO, MEXICO?IS IT SAFE TO TRAVEL TO PUERTO PENASCO, MEXICO?

Answer

Yes, the area of Mexico that Dani & Bryan visit is safe for tourists, and they’ve been traveling to Rocky Point annually without any issues. However, there are some things to keep in mind for a smooth journey: • Be cautious in Sonoyta, the border town. Avoid stopping in Sonoyta or anywhere between the U.S./Mexico border and Puerto Peñasco, which is about an hour’s drive from the border. • Watch your speed. Police in Sonoyta heavily enforce speed limits, and stop (ALTO) signs can be hard to spot. Make sure to come to a complete stop at all signs. • What to do if pulled over: It’s common for police to stop drivers in Sonoyta, often for minor reasons. If this happens, stay calm. They may ask you to follow them to the police station—politely decline and offer to pay the ticket on the spot. The fee typically ranges from $20 to $50, depending on the officer. Once you’re out of Sonoyta and on the highway, you shouldn’t encounter any police until you approach Puerto Peñasco. Just remember to slow down again when you enter town!

Answer

Yes, we highly recommend having your passport ready at least four months before the wedding to ensure a smooth experience. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, a passport is required to cross international borders. However, in our 15+ years of traveling to Rocky Point, we’ve seen instances where a birth certificate AND driver’s license has been accepted at the Lukeville border crossing. That said, proof of identity is only required when re-entering the U.S., so it’s always better to be safe than sorry and travel with your passport!
