When thinking about taking a vacation to Mexico, what probably comes to mind are beautiful beaches and all-inclusive resorts in crowded tourist areas like Cancun and Cozumel. You may even be thinking “been there, done that.” But you don’t know Mexico, until you’ve visited the amazing towns and villages along the Pacific Coast.
Here are some of our favorite, lesser-known destinations.
Yelapa is a quiet fishing village only accessible by boat. It offers beautiful scenery with no cars. Instead, you’ll find four-wheelers, donkeys, and horses as the preferred methods of transportation. Once you have arrived you can hike to a waterfall or relax on the beach while sipping from a coconut. If you want to get away from it all, Yelapa is for you.
If you want a truly exclusive and luxurious experience, visit Punta Mita. Originally home to artisans, merchants, and fishermen, it is now one of the most sophisticated and high-end destinations in all of Mexico. This private peninsula boasts high-end resorts, spas, and award-winning golf courses. It also has the distinction of being named one of the Top 5 Beaches in Mexico by US News and World Report.
Home to some of the most amazing swells, Puerto Escondido attracts surf professionals from around the globe. Photographers also enjoy the town,
as it is surrounded by lush jungle. In the evenings, locals and tourists alike head to the beach, mingle, and stand in awe as they watch the breathtaking sunsets. This location is perfect for adventure seekers and those who love nature.
Huatulco stretches over 22 miles of coastline. Its pristine waters are perfect for swimming as they are protected by bays. Huatulco has also been honored as one of the most sustainable destinations in the world. Interested in ecotourism? Huatulco is calling your name.
