Lukeville crossing is set to reopen this week

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced this decision on Tuesday afternoon, confirming that the border crossing will resume normal operations starting at *6 a.m. MST on Thursday.*

Lukeville reopen
In their press release, CBP reiterated their commitment to border security, emphasizing that they will continue to prioritize this mission in response to the ever-evolving situation. "We will keep assessing security situations, adjusting our operational plans, and deploying resources to maximize enforcement efforts against noncitizens who do not use lawful pathways or processes, such as scheduling an appointment via CBP One, and those without a legal basis to remain in the United States," stated the agency.

The closure of the Lukeville border dealt a severe blow to the economy of the surrounding towns, halting the flow of trade and tourism that forms the lifeblood of these communities. However, amidst this economic downturn, a silver lining emerged for the intrepid explorers willing to seek out adventure in the region.

For those bold enough to venture into Rocky Point during the border closure, they discovered a hidden paradise. With fewer tourists, the beaches became serene havens, offering an unparalleled experience of untouched beauty. Adventurers reveled in having these stunning landscapes all to themselves, relishing the tranquility and pristine nature of the coastline.

This reopening marks a significant step towards normalizing operations in the area and will ease access for our residents.

One of the best Spring Breaks in recent years!

March 25, 2015
City beaches, streets, hotels, and restaurants were notably packed over the popular U.S. Spring vacations, particularly over the three weekends encompassing the break. Héctor Vázquez del Mercado, President of the Rocky Point Convention and Visitors Bureau (OCV), indicated according to the influx of visitors registered, there was an estimated economic boost of 60 million pesos to the area; 40% of this is collected by the hotel sector, with 30% put into services and another 30% for gas and food. He stated this Spring Break period was one of the best for Rocky Point in the past five years, highlighting the greater number of older adults and families alongside university students who each year visit the city’s beaches. Fortunately, expressed Vázquez del Mercado, there was an overall environment of safety and while there were minor accidents none of these were fatal. With these tendencies, the OCV President is confident numbers of U.S. and Canadian visitors are on the rise and could continue to improve.

Wounded Sea Lion in Cholla Bay rescued and treated

August 4, 2014
A wounded sea lion spotted in the rocky area of Cholla Bay was rescued, treated, and returned to sea on Thursday morning, July 31st. The appearance of a sea lion that seemed to have fishing net wrapped around its neck caught the attention of a number of people recently who began reporting the sighting on social networks, trying to alert appropriate offices to help the animal. The sea lion itself had been spotted climbing out on the rocks various times daily over a period of nearly a week. The young sea lion weighed about 45 kilograms, and rescuers had to administer local anesthesia in order to give the animal analgesics, antibiotics, and an anti-inflammatory. People living in La Cholla gave fish in order to feed the sea lion. Finally, rescuers took the sea lion, who they nicknamed “Pedrito” (given the affection they had for him), toward the sea and before they could let him go he took off on his own into the water, no longer having nets on his body.
