Rincón de Guayabitos.

What to do in Rincón de Guayabitos Nayarit Mexico

Days here revolve around the water line. The morning starts on Avenida Sol Nuevo with fresh juice and warm pan dulce before the heat settles in. By noon, families gather under shade umbrellas along the two-kilometre bay, where the Pacific behaves more like a vast swimming pool than an open ocean. It suits travellers who prefer modest hotel rooms with kitchenettes, plastic chairs on the sand, and the rhythm of a straightforward Mexican holiday town.
