Where to Stay | Dining | Shopping | Interactive Map

Amazed by the scenery of exuberant palm trees and the beautiful Pacific, numerous people have decided to establish Punta El Custodio as their new home.

Many wonderful villas and condominiums of low ecological impact have been constructed in this destination, ready to receive those fortunate lovers of sand, sun and sea that have chosen to visit this gem of the Riviera Nayarit.

This is also an ideal destination for nature lovers, as Punta El Custodio is home to one of the state’s most important turtle sanctuaries, which receives dozens of volunteers from a variety of countries every year.

They come here to watch over the nesting marine turtles and protect their eggs.

All along the town’s eight-kilometer (five-mile) beach it is common to see jovial young people running into the waves with their boogie boards, or people tranquilly enjoying the rays of the sun as they contemplate the ocean.

If you are looking for a family-friendly environment, apt for young children to play in calm waters, head over to Las Tortugas beach.

Farther north you will come upon a small peninsula formed by whimsical rock formations known as Isla Bonita. And across from Punta El Custodio is Platanitos Beach, a fishing village where you can dine on delicious dishes prepared in thatched-roof huts lining the seashore.
