A bit of history

The origins, of what is now a paradise for vacationers, date back to 1927, when Rocky Point was just a small fishing village. It consisted of just a few anglers from the nearby towns, who found in the surrounding waters an extraordinary abundance of marine species.

By 1929 the area was already known as "Punta de Piedra" or "Punta Penasco", (Spanish for Rocky End), because of the rock formations that stand out from its beaches. Finally, in 1952 Rocky Point became an official municipality. With a buoyant fishing and tourist industry, Rocky Point is becoming a very popular option for vacationing, resting, and enjoying water activities like sport fishing, diving and many others.
