Riviera Nayarit – Beaches

The beaches are what most vacationers come for and they stretch for much of the 300 kms coastline of Riviera Nayarit. I visited four, from South to North…. Nuevo Vallarta’s beach (top) runs for 5 kms through Flamingos and Bucerias and is where most of the major resorts are located. Punta de Mita’s beach (2^nd) is smaller and more exclusive. Sayulita is a surfer’s haven with long breakers rolling in off the Pacific (3^rd). And San Pancho (or San Francisco, as it appears on maps) is a funky, laid back beach stretching between two protective headlands (bottom). Beaches for all vacation types….
