The story goes that Al Capone put Puerto Penasco in the map. During prohibition he supposedly used the village as a transfer point for liquor to his USA organization. The word in the streets say that he drilled the first water well, constructed a landing strip and also build the first solid structure building, now a days is known as "Posada La Roca" the 8 room hostel in the fish market area. Puerto Peñasco, also known as Rocky Point, is one of the fastest growing tourist centers of northern Mexico; as of 2009 the population is 45 plus thousand people, which includes many American and Canadian ex-pats. Quite an expansion for a fishermen village that had no more than 3,000 people about 25 years ago.
