Playa Colomitos, Hidden beach cove near Boca de Tomatlan, Mexico
The beach stretches along 30 yards of fine sand, bordered by rocky cliffs and dense tropical forest meeting the waters of Banderas Bay.
The coastal area originally belonged to indigenous Nayarit communities until Spanish colonization led to demographic changes in the region during the 16th century.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices in the waters around Colomitos, contributing to the supply of fresh seafood for regional Mexican cuisine.
Visitors can reach the beach by taking a water taxi from Boca de Tomatlan or following a mile-long hiking trail through the jungle.
A freshwater stream flows from the jungle through the beach into the ocean, creating a natural meeting point between forest and sea ecosystems.
