As spring break approaches I am proud to say that I have spent my last 20 years visiting Rocky Point Mexico every year at this time. There is so much to offer in the little fishing village south of the border. Rocky Point is the closest drive from the Phoenix area to reach the ocean, and what a beautiful ocean it is.
