Guayabitos

Rincón de Guayabitos (reen-khon deh gwah-yah-bee-toes), or simply Guayabitos, is a popular beach resort town adjacent to Penita de Jaltemba. This is the town that basically put northern part of Riviera Nayarit on the map. For years this is one of the favorite spots for snowbirds to come spend the winter from Canada and the United States.

Guayabitos has approximately 2 km of beachfront with beautiful mostly low tide gentle waves. Making it very enjoyable for the entire family. The beach has a number of comfortable restaurants that serve excellent seafood and traditional Mexican dishes.

Federal Highway 200 passes right through Guayabitos, but if you get distracted you might miss it. You need to walk or drive down the intersection at the corner of the Pemex gas station and Oxxo down to Avenida Sol Nuevo to get to the main tourist area where you will find hotels, bungalows, restaurants, clubs, and souvenir shops.

FYI, you need to book early since due to the popularity of Guayabitos, the hotels and bungalows get booked months in advance. This is also a very popular destination for Mexican tourists as well who come by the bus load, especially during Semana Santa but also other months of the winter season.
