The North Shore/Costa Nayarit regions begin in the south at Bucerias and La Cruz and travel north to Costa Tortugas.
Costa Banderas
Heading west out of La Cruz, you reach Costa Banderas. Costa Banderas is the home of high-end beachfront villas and condominiums. With miles of pristine, sandy beach, it is a relatively undeveloped area. This is expected to change as development moves north.
Punta de Mita
Punta de Mita is a 40-minute drive from the airport and can be found at the northern tip of Banderas Bay. With this location, Punta de Mita boasts sweeping views of Banderas Bay from Mismaloya in the South to La Cruz and Costa Banderas to the famous Marietas Islands. Top this off with outstanding beaches.
Outside the Punta de Mita village is the exclusive gated community of Punta Mita. Punta Mita is a master planned residential community, home to two Jack Nicklaus Signature golf courses and the Four Seasons and The St. Regis resorts. For those seeking the best of the best, Punta Mita delivers.
While Punta de Mita offers Mexican chic and upscale tropical living, you don’t need to go far to experience Mexican culture and traditions, offered in the nearby villages adjacent to the area:
Litibú
Just outside of Punta de Mita lies Litibú, a newer master planned community offering a mix of affordable and upscale properties. Still under development, over time Litibú, will surely become an alternate destination to Punta de Mita with its beautiful beaches, world class golf courses and amenities.
Sayulita
Surf much? Sayulita is the place for you.
Sayulita had its beginnings as an agriculture and fishing town. In the late 60s, when the new highway, at the time, created greater access, Sayulita sprung to life as a surfing destination.
Today, Sayulita is a thriving town, with great restaurants, boutiques and crafts shops and properties for every taste and budget. New, affordable condo developments are popping up within walking distance to the beach and there are beautiful beachfront and hillside homes with sweeping ocean views available.
San Pancho
And if you are looking for a bit more laid-back atmosphere with a vibe similar to that of Sayulita, head just five miles north to the beautiful seaside town of San Pancho.
