Puerto Penasco Timeshare
Puerto Penasco is a beautiful town located on the Sea of Cortez, along the northern coast of the Gulf of California in northwestern Mexico. Located about 80 miles from the Arizona border, Puerto Penasco, which also means "Rocky Point" in English, has long been a tourist destination for visiting Americans. Because of the town's unique coastal location on the fringe of the Sonora Desert, it is known for both its beaches and its warm weather – the perfect location for a Puerto Penasco timeshare vacation.
Popular Activities
The average year-round high temperature in the area is in the low 80s, which is ideal to take advantage of the wonderful beach activities and water sports at Playa Hermosa Beach in Puerto Penasco. Vacationers can swim nearly every month of the year, while deep sea fishing, boating, snorkeling and scuba diving are all popular activities.
A Puerto Penasco timeshare at the beach is the perfect spot for families with children. Banana boat rides along the coast near the beach are enticing, and pirate ship cruises are also available. Pirate cruises include family games and meals. Snorkeling is also a popular pastime for families due to the reefs and unique rock formations in the area.

Desert-themed Sites
One of the most unique aspects of this region is the desert terrain coupled with the volcanic activity that took place over an estimated four millions years, most recently 11,000 years ago. The amazing crater landscape has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage area and was the region that NASA used for astronaut lunar training from 1965-70 prior to the missions to the moon. Look for El Pinacate and Gran Desierto de Altar if you plan to check it out.
