Fishing & Clamming

 

 

The Sea of Cortez has many species of fish.

 

Corvina is the most popular for shore fishing. Summer and Fall are the best seasons for corvina and there is good fishing for yellowtail from a boat.

 

Charter fishing from Kino is available.

 

The best clamming spot in the area is within walking distance of the park.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Money & Banking

 

 

 The closest bank is in Miguel Aleman (Calle Doce), however as of Summer 2009, US funds cannot be exchanged without an account. An ATM that accepts Canadian and American cards is available at the bank and the Super Val and Del Norte grocery stores. (Hermosillo has numerous  ATMs.) 3 ATMs are available in Old Kino.

 

US cash or pesos are the most acceptable form of tender. A few of the restaurants in Kino may accept credit cards.

 

 

 

Groceries & Shopping

 

 


New and Old Kino have a number of small convenience stores, and some small speciality stores (tortillas, baking, butcher, seafood). Migual Aleman (Calle Doce) has some larger grocery stores. Hermosillo has major stores - Walmart, Costco and Sams.

 

The park office has sodas, juices and boxed milk for sale. During peak season a vegetable truck visits the park once a week.

 

 

Doctors & Hospitals

 

Kino Bay has a small clinic and a Red Cross service. The park has radio contact with the town to dispatch an ambulance should the need arise.

 

Hermosillo has a full service CIMA hospital. (Baylor Hospitals) Most doctors are bilingual and all medical specialities are available.

 

 

 

Gas, Diesel & Propane

 

Old and New Kino both have a fuel station (PEMEX) that sells gas and diesel.

 

Propane for motorhomes may be purchased from the propane truck, but only when it is visiting the park to fill the main tanks. The closest propane service for filling portable tanks is in Old Kino at Hermo Gas. We recommend that you enter the park with full propane tanks.
