But is it safe to travel to Rocky Point, Mexico?
May 2022: The US State Department has issued another travel warning for Mexico after 2 gang members were shot in Cancun. Last year almost 3 times as many people were killed in Chicago than Cancun. So the State Department should issue travel warnings for the entire US because of killings in Chicago? The crime rate in Peoria, AZ is almost double that of Rocky Point – and it is even higher in Phx. Of the 2 million annual tourists to Rocky Point, how many have been murdered in the past 50 years? Zero. None. Ninguno.
So if you really want to stay safe, leave home immediately and drive one hour south of the border to the sandy beaches of Rocky Point. And if you want to have more fun, do it on one of our motorcoaches.
