Rincón de Guayabitos
A family beach town in a calm bay, where glass-bottom boat trips to Coral Island offer snorkelling. It is a popular holiday destination for Mexican local visitors.
Rincón de Guayabitos lies in Jaltemba Bay, about 40 km north of Sayulita. Islands shelter the bay, so the water is as flat as a lake. It is one of the most loved seaside family resort towns among Mexicans, with budget hotels and seafood restaurants lining the coastal avenue. The most popular activity is a roughly 15-minute glass-bottom boat ride from the beach to Isla del Coral, where you can snorkel among tropical fish or lounge on a small beach. Humpback whales are often spotted along the boat route in winter. Boat tickets are priced per person or negotiated for a charter, and the island has simple food stalls. Beaches are very crowded on holidays, so weekdays are more comfortable.
