I would suggest looking at riding Elegante Crater from the park entrance at Pinacate Reserve. After you climb to the crater, you can loop around the whole crater and go back down.

Also, there is riding right in town at Whale Hill and out by Laguna Del Mar. Go see the guys at Exodo Bikes for intel. They are at Guillermo Prieto
Puerto Peñasco, Sonora.
Also, as alluded to, you can definitely hit the sand at low tide if you have a fat bike.
that's cool I did not know about that shop. Do you have an address or cross-street, not on their FB page.
I rarely make it that far east in town, so never been to LAguna Del Mar. What is it like?
Whale Hill is fun, and the only elevation in town. Dirt roads up either side, some very sandy kinda poorly-laid out trails crisscross part of it that may be on private property. Its a great view, but doesnt take long to ride all over it.about 4-5 years ago a jump line was built on it, but its in very poor condition now and I wouldnt hit it.
RockyChrysler - you can ride the beach from about .5 mile inside Las Conchas. east of that heading through Mi Playa the rocks are really big and extremely hard to navigate safely. But heading SE you can go all the way into the estuary at the right conditions. I dont believe you can navigate around the port to Sandy Beach. I have never ridden the Sandy Beach beach, just some of the back roads around there.
There is a bmx park near the Sam's Club in the municipal complex. I've heard there is another one near Sandy Beach but never been. Town riding is a lot of fun if you enjoy curbs and other urban challenges. The road to Caborca you can spin for miles but its not very safe imo. Dont bother with the dirt roads through the estuary - there are a few sandy routes you can fight through, but the rest gets very sandy and alternates with death mud.
