Location means everything in real estate. This is true for the United States, Mexico, and everywhere else you travel. The Sonoran Sun location is no exception. In this post we will answer your questions about it from both near and far.
Sonoran Sun Resort Puerto Peñasco
The above aerial photo clearly shows the Sonoran Sun Resort is about as beachfront a stay as you can get. The Sonoran Sun location is 65 miles from the Lukeville Port of Entry. This is the border crossing between Lukeville, Arizona and Sonoyta, Sonora. Basically, Lukeville serves as the gateway to Puerto Peñasco, also known as Rocky Point Mexico. For good reason the town earned the nickname, “Arizona’s Beach” because most of its visitors come from Arizona.
The city of Puerto Peñasco is in the northwestern portion of the state of Sonora. Likewise in Mexico, Sonora is in the northwest part of the country. Baja California is the only Mexican state west of Sonora. As you can easily see in the map, Puerto Peñasco is closer to the neighboring states of Arizona, Baja California, California, and New Mexico than to Chihuahua or Sinaloa.
Unique Mexican Beachfront Location
If you didn’t know better, you would think the Sonoran Sun location is oceanfront. That is because it sits on the edge of Mainland Mexico on the northern mouth of the Gulf of California, also called the Sea of Cortez. From the balconies of Sonoran Sun condos, you can often see Baja California by looking to your right, or west.
The Sea of Cortez is a massive body of water which easily can be mistaken for an ocean. This is because it covers over 700 miles north and south and up to 150 miles east and west. It is the reason Baja California is connected only to Sonora, and no other Mexican states.
Keep in mind the Pacific Ocean merges with the southern portion of the Gulf of California or Sea of Cortez. So, it too has salt water, waves, and changing tides. This makes it seem even more like an ocean to some.
Because it is a seaside resort, some areas of the city of Puerto Peñasco sit at sea level. Other sections are slightly above. The Sonoran Sun location is right on Sandy Beach. However, flooding has not been an issue because of multiple precautions taken by the country, city, and resort.
