Bucerias Beach in Nayarit, Mexico.

Approximately 25 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta lies the sweet Mexican town of Bucerias. For visitors coming from Nuevo Vallarta and its northern section of Flamingos, Bucerias is within walking distance when heading north along the beach. A fantastic section of soft golden sand fronts the town of Bucerias, with this specific section of Flamingos Beach referred to as Playa Bucerias. Along this wide inviting beach visitors enjoy cool afternoon breezes and savor special spots where the ocean and sand are framed by gorgeous coconut palms. The ocean water along this section of Banderas Bay has surf gentle enough for swimming and body surfing. Another wonderful feature of Playa Bucerias is that it’s much less crowded than some of the more popular beaches within and around the city of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
