Riviera Nayarit Beaches

Riviera Nayarit beaches span over 190 miles of soft sand and crystal-clear water. Choose one of these:

• Nuevo Vallarta Beach – This beach offers ample recreational activities. Boogie board, parasail, jet-ski, take a banana boat ride, or just walk for miles in either direction. Bike the cycling track, look for baby turtles scooting from nest to ocean, or hop a water taxi to other area beaches. There are vendors here, but they are polite.
• Playa Los Muertos – Looking to enjoy a drink under a shaded palapa? This is the beach for you! There are few vendors on the beach itself, but the surrounding area is built up with restaurants, bars, craft stores, and dive shops. A beautiful new pier is the perfect place to see locals spear-fishing or buy a fresh shrimp skewer.
• Sayulita Beach – Stronger waves means the sand is coarser than other beaches, but it’s the ideal place to surf, paddle board, and horseback ride. Grab a street taco, enjoy quieter stretches of beach, and buy a souvenir.
• Hidden Beach – Named one of the “Top 25 Beaches in the World” by Thrillist, this stretch of land on Marietas Islands offers hidden caverns, natural rock arches, powder-soft sand, and some of the best marine-life for snorkeling or diving. You can only reach the warm, turquoise waters through a tunnel from the Pacific.

Riviera Nayarit Shopping

Riviera Nayarit shopping is a large draw, with Huichol and Cora handicrafts travelers won’t find elsewhere. Peruse the pottery at the Ixtlã N Del Rio archaeological site, blue pottery in Ahuacatlan, wood and palm leaf furniture in Jala, or carved stone crafts in Santiago Ixcuintla. Paradise Plaza is one of the most well-known shopping malls in Riviera Nayarit, offering a great selection of jewelry, shoes, beach items, imported goods, boutiques, and restaurants. Many visitors love shopping in the quaint town of Bucerias, known for its local artist community. Other recommendations include:

• Plaza Ollin in Punta de Mita (designer clothes)
• Splash of Glass in Bucerias (make your own souvenir)
• The Tianguis in La Peñita (open-air food and handicraft market)
• Luna Layne in San Pancho (handmade textiles and traditional folk art)
• Mexica Tiahui in Sayulita (handmade jewelry and unique souvenirs)
