Nuevo Nayarit

Nuevo Nayarit is a coastal locality along the Pacific in Bahía de Banderas featuring sandy beaches, hotels, and residential areas spread across the shoreline. It sits near Puerto Vallarta International Airport and continues to develop with tourism-related infrastructure.

The area was agricultural land until the Mexican Federal Government established the Bahía de Banderas Trust in 1970, launching its development as a tourism destination. This transformation brought investment and infrastructure that shaped the region into what visitors see today.

The locality blends traditional Mexican coastal living with international influences seen in its restaurants, markets, and public spaces where visitors and residents interact daily. You can observe this fusion in the architecture, from older residential buildings to contemporary hotels that line the shore.

Access the area through Puerto Vallarta International Airport or by car using Federal Highway 200 from nearby cities. The dry season offers the most comfortable conditions for beach activities and exploring the coastal region.

The waters off the coast serve as a winter refuge for humpback whales migrating from Arctic regions between December and March. Visitors often encounter these marine mammals during boat tours or from shore during these months.
