There is nothing quite as magical as soaking up the sun and the surf during a trip to beautiful Mexico. Experience the true spirit of Mexico by choosing the more remote beach resorts for your next vacation. Here are three of the best little-known beach areas that you should consider for your next Mexico vacation.
Manzanillo
The Barefoot Nomad points out that while Manzanillo is beginning to gain ground in popularity, this quaint beach town still gives off a welcoming and local vibe. Even during the busy tourist season, this gem of the Pacific manages to retain its original charm. The lush landscape of Manzanillo boasts amazing beaches, volcanoes, and vast banana plantations. Pull up a chair at any bar and connect with locals over a bowl of ceviche and a margarita in this inviting shipping port town.
Punta De Mita
This 1500-acre private peninsula offers you the conveniences of a modern city combined with the tranquility of a remote beach. Susurros del Corazón explains that here you can learn to ride a surfboard on the Pacific, go on a guided paddle to a world beyond or take a jungle walk with a naturalist to explore local flora and fauna. Whatever your travel fancy, this charming village has all of your needs covered. Because it is surrounded on three sides by the pristine waters of the Pacific Ocean, Punta de Mita boasts a myriad of beaches and water that is ideal for a variety of activities. The two Jack Nicklaus golf courses and a comprehensive tennis center will satisfy the land lovers looking to get out and get active while on vacation.
Yelapa
This Way to Paradise recommends to escape the hustle and bustle of the touristy city of Puerto Vallarta and discover the magic of Yelapa. Located just a 45-minute ferry ride away from Puerto Vallarta, this beach town offers a secluded escape from the stresses of life to its lucky visitors. The area is situated on a cove on the Bahía de Banderas. Surrounded by dense jungle forests, Yelapa truly feels like a tropical paradise. There are no roads and vehicles in this remote village, making it an ideal destination for those travelers who want to get off of the grid.
Do not let the big cities and glitz and glamour of Mexico’s big cities scare you away. There are plenty of peaceful beaches just waiting to be discovered and enjoyed when you are willing to travel off of the beaten path.
