Costalegre, Pacific coast beaches in Jalisco, Mexico
Costalegre is a stretch of Pacific coastline featuring numerous beaches and natural bays scattered across the region. The area includes white-sand shores interspersed with rocky coves and coastal vegetation, creating a varied landscape for exploration.
The region remained largely untouched until the 1960s when initial development projects began reshaping the coastline. These early ventures introduced roads, settlements, and facilities that transformed the area from isolated beaches into an accessible destination.
Fishing villages dotting the coast maintain centuries-old ways of preparing seafood and organizing their daily routines around the ocean's rhythms. These traditions shape how locals live and eat, creating a connection to the sea that visitors can witness in their communities.
The coastline is accessible via the main highway that runs along the shore, allowing stops at various beach sections. Independent travel with a rental car works best, as public transportation is limited and driving gives flexibility to explore at your own pace.
Development here is restricted by strict regulations designed to prevent overdevelopment and preserve open coastline. This approach has kept large sections relatively undeveloped, making it different from more heavily built-up beach destinations.
