Is Puerto Peñasco considered a safe destination for international travelers?

[Peterkavinsky]

I’ve been thinking about taking a trip to Puerto Peñasco, but I’m not totally sure how safe it is these days—do you know if it’s okay for tourists to visit and just chill without worrying too much?

Yes, Puerto Peñasco (Rocky Point) is generally considered safe for international travelers, especially in tourist areas like the **Malecón, Sandy Beach, and resorts**. However, follow basic safety precautions:

1. Stick to well-known tourist zones—avoid isolated areas, especially at night.
2. Don’t drive at night if crossing the border (Sonoran highways can be risky after dark).
3. Use reputable tour operators and taxis—avoid unmarked cabs.
