Los Ayala forms the southern part of the area surrounding Rincon de Guayabitos. Beach lovers flock to its mile long sandy expanse and exceptionally calm shallow waters to enjoy fishing, whale watching, snorkeling and seafood specialties that are legendary in the area.

This is a “real Mexican” seaside fishing town that has not lost its quaint character while finding ways to cater to vacationers who enjoy accommodations in a range of exceptional rental vacation homes and bungalows.

Rincon de Guayabitos is an authentic picture-perfect beachside Mexican pueblo, where the Vallejo Mountains cascade to the sea, and meet its unbelievably tranquil bay protected by two nearby islands.

The ocean here is referred to as the world’s largest pool and the crystal turquoise waters are perfect for swimming and snorkeling. Horseback riding and ATV tours into the mountains to explore the area’s beautiful flora and fauna are popular excursions.

Small hotels and vacation rentals are the area’s popular accommodations. Combined with friendly warm locals and the traditional market and restaurants that offer fresh local foods, handicrafts, clothes and jewelry, this is a perfect beach vacation for all ages.

La Peñita de Jaltemba is set just five minutes to the north of Rincon de Guayabitos on the calm bay and a golden, fine-sand half mile stretch of tropical beach.

The authentic flavor of the town forms a picturesque setting for enjoying local fresh seafood delicacies either under palapas on the beach or in the town’s colorful, flavor-filled restaurants.

Bars and nightclubs provide the area with entertainment and a festive bohemian ambiance. And, the weekly market that opens every Thursday, allows shopping for treasures and handicrafts to take back home.
