About

The Old Port is one of Rocky Point’s most beloved and historic shopping spots. Nestled right beside the Malecón Fundadores and the working fishing pier, it captures the authentic charm of Puerto Peñasco’s old fishing village. Locals and visitors alike flock here to shop, dine, and soak in the lively waterfront atmosphere.

You’ll discover a mix of small shops, street vendors, and open-air stalls offering everything from souvenirs and beachwear to handmade crafts, silver jewelry, clothing, and local artwork. Many vendors have been here for decades, so you can often find one-of-a-kind items not available in larger malls or tourist shops.

The area really comes alive in the evenings and on weekends, with colorful displays of blankets, hammocks, straw hats, seashell art, pottery, and vibrant Mexican folk pieces. It’s the perfect place to sharpen your bargaining skills, as most prices are happily negotiable.

Local Tips

Bargaining is expected and adds to the fun — start around half the asking price and negotiate from there.
Visit in the late afternoon or early evening when the vibe is lively and the heat has eased.
Bring small bills in pesos or dollars, as most vendors prefer cash.
Keep an eye on your belongings, especially during busy tourist seasons.
Pair your shopping with a stroll along the Malecón or a fresh seafood meal at one of the nearby spots.

Whether you’re hunting for a special souvenir or simply want to experience authentic local shopping, the Old Port Beach area is a must-visit during your Rocky Point getaway.
