Bucerias
Located just north of Flamingos Nayarit is Bucerias Mexico. The first thing to enchant you will be the simple charms of this traditional Mexican town. You’ll fall in love with the cobblestone streets, brightly colored homes (with enormous wooden doors), and the overall feeling of tranquility.
Nuevo Vallarta
Nestled between the tranquil Pacific Ocean and the Sierra de Vallejo mountains is Nuevo Vallarta Nayarit. Just a 20-minute drive from the Puerto Vallarta airport, Nuevo Vallarta is one of the most visited and exclusive beach destinations in all of Mexico. Yet it still holds the 2019 Earth Check Silver Certification. Nuevo Vallarta Nayarit brings together luxury and the abundance of nature to offer each visitor an enchanting escape with excellent hospitality, comfort, and entertainment.
La Cruz
Tradition has always been one of the essential characteristics of La Cruz de Huanacaxtle Mexico, which is just 6-km up the coast from Bucerias.
A fishing village for generations, this coastal town has been modernized thanks to the construction of the Riviera Nayarit Marina —the largest and most modern of the corridor. Nayarit Marina has helped to create a Nayarit destination that harmoniously combines the traditional life of a Mexican pueblo with the sophistication of a modern development. So, when visiting La Cruz, as the locals call it, you will have the opportunity to witness postcard worthy scenes such as the arrival of fishermen on the pier in their Panga boats loaded with a variety of fish.
Punta De Mita
Located about 15-km southwest of Sayulita and only 8-km west of Destiladeras in Riviera Nayarit lies Punta Mita Mexico, voted #12 for 2020s Best Places to Visit in Mexico by US News & World Report. It also topped the list for 2021!
As you set foot in this coastal town and stand in the white sands of the peninsula, you will be overcome with tranquility as you look out over the immense Pacific Ocean.
Sayulita | san Pancho
Just 33-km northwest of Nuevo Vallarta lies Sayulita Nayarit. When dusk falls on the beaches of Sayulita Mexico in Riviera Nayarit, you will see silhouettes skim across the water like floating spirits. Watch bodies dive and emerge, facing the sunset while awaiting the next perfect wave. Each evening, these scenes repeat, painted in the dazzling tones of the sun’s descent into the Pacific Ocean.
Sayulita surfers are participating in the sport they love, which happens to be one of the main attractions of this traditional Riviera Nayarit fishing village. From all over the world, surfing enthusiasts flock to this Sayulita beach, like a sacred site, with their boards on their backs, their golden skin glistening, and hearts full with a passion for the waves.
The history of San Pancho, as San Francisco Mexico is lovingly called, can be read on the walls of a compound near the San Pancho beach. Here you’ll find exceptional images painted in acrylics depicting colorful personalities sprinkled across landscapes known to this area.
Located just 5-km north of Sayulita, San Francisco Mexico is considered the “cultural capital” of the state of Riviera Nayarit, thanks to the numerous initiatives carried out here to promote Mexican culture and education.
