Nayarit Coast

Surf towns, bohemian villages and luxury catamarans.

About Nayarit Coast

North of the airport, the Riviera Nayarit coastline stretches past colorful surf towns and exclusive peninsulas. Note that Nayarit runs one hour ahead of Puerto Vallarta for part of the year, so check your departure time.

Sayulita and San Pancho have beginner-friendly waves and lively plazas, while Punta Mita is the base for luxury catamarans heading to the Marietas.

Sayulita

A bohemian surf town with gentle beginner waves, street art and a busy central plaza.

San Pancho

Punta Mita

An upscale peninsula with calm-water departures to Islas Marietas and several world-class surf breaks.
