A collection of small towns surround
Banderas Bay, each with its own unique way of transporting
you to another place and time and another way of life.
To the North of Banderas Bay you will find the Marietas
diver's paradise and Punta Mita for the surfers and
golfers, there are the fishing villages of San Francisco,
Sayulita and Cruz de Huanacaxtle - for a look at what
Vallarta was like years ago - as well as charming Bucerías,
"place of divers", with its wide soft-sand
beaches, and locally famous fresh oysters. |

Home to several endangered
bird species such as the Blue Footed Boobie, which can
only be found in the Island of the Sea of Cortez and
the Galapagos Islands. Great diving through caves and
tunnels, and visiting “Lovers Beach”, accessible

mantas, large schooling fish, turtles, and dolphins. |

A quiet,
coastal town located on the edge of Banderas Bay. This
quaint town runs parallel along the beachfront for a
some miles north and south of the town's center spot.
The ocean’s warm waters and lapping surf are only
a few blocks away at any point within this small town.
Bucerias has one of the most private, prettiest, soft
sand beaches in the area. The beach runs along cobblestone
and bougainvillea lined streets, and is perfect for
a day of relaxing or napping in the sun. Bucerias features
several fine restaurants that offer a wide array of
excellent menus. Bucerias is a ten-minute drive from
the Puerto Vallarta's airport, and twenty minutes from
downtown Vallarta. However you may never want to leave
this charming town with its warm hospitality and soothing,
beachside atmosphere. Some people mention that it's
like Puerto Vallarta was before it became a tourist
attraction. So visiting it may be like a trip back in
time. |
