Even if you come down by yourself you will have a wonderful time. It is soooo easy to meet people here wherever you go. Everyone (town people & visitors) almost always talk to each other. I don't think I've ever stood in line at Super Ley and not gotten into a conversation (sometimes I'm not...

We sent ours.

Today we had two young girls show us a baby octopus in the tide pool - there were here with their grandfather (or great) and having a wonderful time exploring the tide pools. They drove over from San Diego. We never get tired of exploring the tide pools. You have a wonderful treat waiting for you.

We took one look out the window at the traffic streaming by and put the car keys away and hit the beach - in our shorts. It was really great seeing people enjoying themselves. The banana boat guys were doing a booming business. As were all the other "play toy" rentals from what we could see.

We've used them both times and both times excellent - no "fishy" smell. Ready for more.

Easter Week we had over 100K visitors - families having a great time - no violence. I don't think Phoenix, Tucson, etc. can say the same thing. If you read the Phoenix paper there is violence every single day. For Penasco they had to go back a year to find something to try and scare people with!

When driving down remember that Gila Bend - especially Ajo (coming into and going out of town) and Soyonita have speed traps. The road between Soyoniat and Lukeville is in better condition then between Ajo and Lukeville in our opinion. It is well maintained and also patrolled and there is an...

Welcome to Penasco. We moved here full time in Sept and love it - everyone is really great and fantastic beaches. And the drive to Tucson and San Diego are easy - especially with the new coast highway opened up. We haven't tried it but others have mentioned that it is really nice (I do remember...

We especially love the roadrunner sign.

One of my relatives who suppose to have ridden with Villa and is buried in Chihuahua (he was Irish) - at one point I had an old grave marker (piece of paper) but it has since disappeared. Didn't pay enough attention when I was a kid and the Great Aunts would talk about it - now I kick myself.

Can't believe the traffic headed out towards Choya Bay. At one RV turn off the traffic was backed up at least a half mile if not more. Our place is completely full - they were triple parking out front. Everyone seems to be having a fantastic time and, of course, the weather couldn't be more...

Believe it would have been in mid/late 60's???? Unless it is a family tree I'm not real good with dates. At the time Penasco was still getting all it's water delivered by the water trucks from the well 17 miles out of town. You DID NOT waste water in those days! Hard to come by. The trucks...

That's probably the same one. Was put together by the UofA and Penasco I believe. As I recall Penasco was suppose to build the road out to the site. Equipment arrived and no road. No problemo - guy jumps into his jeep, drives out to site and back and announces "there's the road". We got stuck...

We were just on the beach and it was beautiful - more people then we've seen. Almost all families with little kids. Our parking lot looks like a used car lot there are so many cars - and tons of big "toys". Just across the street in the sand area apparently an accident with a dune buggy or ATV -...

Great directions - thank you. I've even been on that street - just didn't know where I was lol. Once my daughter and I got lost and were in and out of 3 States in our wanderings (CT, NJ & NY).

Thank you. Can you give directioins? I tend to get lost easily (would NEVER make it on the Amazing Race) and I give my DH even worse directions! I never seem to know which streets I'm on - I just wander around - can't get used to how many streets there are now! Before there was the road to the...

It is Thursday and woke up to perfect beach weather so if you are thinking of coming down the beach is fantastic. Sat on the balcony early this morning - basking - and enjoying watching kids & dogs & people enjoying the beach and tide pools. Can hear kids laughing at the pool. Our El Gato was...

Does anyone know of a good place in town to get eye glasses repaired? Or to get new glasses? Tks. Gata

Every summer my Dad and his friends would rent a shrimp boat to go fishing for a week. After the first year of doing their own cooking they also hired a cook! Good decision. Once when my son was young and wearing the long hair of the day my Dad mentioned it was too bad it wasn't short, that he...

Love the pictures - thank you.
