Puerto Peñasco/Rocky Point Sonora Mexico

[Brian Bruning]

Has anyone out there seen any coconut trees at this location at the top of the Sea of Cortez/Gulf of California? Cristobal of Calexico have you ever visited this location. It is popular with folks from Arizona as it is the closest location with a sea front and warm water during most of the year.

I haven't been there but there are some posts on this forum that show some pics of cocos there.

Looking at Streetview,they didn't capture any Rocky point images.More down south though,they have Guaymas and they have a ton of cocos everywhere.In Baja California on the west they have San Felipe Streetview,but looking around I didn't see a single coconut.

Do you have pics of these Guaymas Coconuts?

Coconutman, that is definitely a Coconut at just over 28 degrees latitude!

I am reposting  2006 fotos of cocos nucifera in Puerto Peñasco (some with fruit). I posted them originally in 2006 (but I cannot find the string).

I have not been to Puerto Peñasco in several years, but the larger ones were still there the last time I went.

Puerto Peñasco is at 31 degrees north on east side of Mar de Cortés (Gulf of California), at the top.
