Rincón de Guayabitos, located in the state of Nayarit, Mexico, emerged as a tourist destination in the 1970s. Nestled between the Sierra Madre Occidental mountains and the Pacific Ocean, it was initially a quiet fishing village.

The area’s development for tourism was part of a broader initiative to promote the Riviera Nayarit as a destination for international and domestic visitors. Its transformation into a resort town involved the creation of hotels, restaurants, and other amenities to cater to tourists seeking beach vacations.

What makes Rincón de Guayabitos special is its exceptionally calm, crystal-clear waters, thanks to a natural bay that shields the beach from strong ocean currents, making it ideal for swimming and water sports.

The beach is also famous for its stunningly fine, golden sand and the warm, gentle waters of the Pacific.

Its affordability and family-oriented atmosphere have made it a beloved spot for domestic travelers, while international visitors are drawn to its authentic Mexican charm, vibrant local culture, and the natural beauty of its surroundings, including lush hills and diverse wildlife.
