San Pancho, the cultural capital of the Riviera Nayarit 

This beach is for those who love culture and want to get up close and personal with nature. You don’t need a lot of words to describe San Francisco, or San Pancho as most people call it. It’s also known as the cultural capital of the Riviera Nayarit because its streets are steeped in culture: the town is home to the Entre Amigos community center, where culture is on tap every day with workshops for the local community. Its beach is gorgeous with an infinite expanse of blue: this is the place to read a book, catch some rays or walk your pet on a perfect afternoon.

Bucerías, the beach for lovers of extreme sports 

If you love extreme sports, then Bucerías is for you: this beach is great for kite surfing thanks to having the best wind conditions in the entire bay. This sport requires a lot of strength and skill to fly above the waves since basically you control a giant kite pulled by the wind.
