Where you’ll be
Rincón de Guayabitos, Nayarit, Mexico
The Rincón de Guayabitos (Corner of the small guava trees) is a beach community popular for its gentle waves, reasonable prices, and beautiful location just a 45 min drive from Puerto Vallarta. It is also popular for being popular. Visiting Rincón de Guayabitos means returning home with a suitcase full of colorful souvenirs. It might be for this reason, or perhaps for its calm swells, and charming atmosphere, that this is one of the most visited destinations of the Riviera Nayarit. Guayabitos has local produce shops, butcher shops, and a seafood market. It is a safe and friendly Mexican town where ex-patriots from the US and Canada come to between November and May each year to enjoy the sun, sand, and laid back atmosphere. A nice 10 minute walk from Casa San Juan through the beautiful Guayabitos “Zona Residencial” with its unique colorful houses and tropical vegetation will take you to the “Puente de la Vida” hanging pedestrian bridge which crosses the estuary and leads you to the neighboring town of La Peñita de Jaltemba. La Peñita has a much different feel from Guayabitos. It’s more of a working class Mexican town with a less touristy vibe (although it is a tourist destination). It’s full of friendly people, and home to some of our favorite restaurants, and bars in the area. You can also find groceries, medical clinics, hardware stores, and all the essentials there. It has a beautiful malecón (oceanfront boardwalk), a great outdoor market on Thursdays during the dry season, and is definitely worth a visit if you’re spending time in the area. The nearby town of Sayulita, 30 minutes from the house, offers a variety of water sports, surfing, swimming, paddle boarding and even a zip-line. The house has hosted families from all over Mexico, tourists from the USA, Canada and Europe. With a bay resembling a giant swimming pool and pearly, fine sand beaches, the two-kilometer (one-mile) long beach measures 30 meters (98 feet) wide and is bathed by the tranquil ocean. This beach is a constant celebration of color and joyous activity. It is common to see children building sand castles, jumping in the gentle surf or playing with their siblings on the shore. You will also find young people playing volleyball or soccer, and in season entire families gathering together on the ocean shore enjoying traditional Mexican fare and snapping photographs or videotaping the memorable moments of their trip. The tropical vegetation, pleasant climate and calm swells are perfect for various water sports and have made this a premier family destination. You can enjoy an assortment of culinary delights including traditional Mexican favorites, like grilled fish and a wide variety of tasty treats such as coconut bread, shaved ices, fried bananas and dishes prepared with yaca, a tropical fruit typical of the region, perfect margaritas, fresh coconuts,all available from the lovely restaurants on the beach and friendly vendors,don't forget to try a traditional Crazy Pineapple, a delight which combines this fruit with chili powder and sweet syrup. Among the other beaches found in the region is Playa Las Minitas, located two kilometers (one mile) south of Guayabitos, near the town Lo de Marcos. This beach measures 500 meters (1,640 feet) long by 40 meters (131 feet) wide, and is separated from the neighboring beach of Playa Los Venados by a small rock formation. Just half a kilometer (0.3 miles) from Las Minitas, Los Venados is a semi-virgin beach with exuberant vegetation, and it is the ideal place to rest and admire the natural beauty of the region. Don't forget to visit the islands: Isla Coral and Isla Cangrejo, where you can admire beautiful natural landscapes close up and gaze upon a variety of birds such as pelicans, seagulls and Blue-Footed Boobies. You can also try your hand at scuba diving or snorkeling in the turquoise- blue waters surrounding the islands. Coral Island, a short boat ride away from the beach directly in front of the house ,has a white sand beach, snorkeling, and fish to rival the Caribbean. After your fun-filled day of sun, sand and sea, take a stroll down the main avenue of Guayabitos where you will find a wide variety of souvenir and handicraft shops selling all sorts of wonderful things such as colorful beaded works made by native Huicholes of the region, beautiful silver jewelry, hand-embroidered clothing and other interesting items such as starfish and marine flowers. You will enjoy the friendly nature of the people of Guayabitos and the folklore of this destination that borrows its name from the guayabo (guayaba), or guava tree. The area also offers baby turtle releases, whale watching boat tours, jet ski, catamaran and other water sport rentals. Best of all for all animal lovers there are many community members and active animal rescue groups in the area that are doing excellent work rescuing, providing medical care and rehoming and educating the local community in the care and control of the animal population. It has become one of the best destinations!
