About Playa Patzcuarito, Nayarit, Mexico
Playa Patzcuarito is one of Sayulita, Mexico’s most beautiful hidden gems, and is one of the most unique beaches in the Riviera Nayarit region. The beach doesn't see a ton of visitors, as it lacks any kind of good road access and lies a bit out of the way for most people. That being said Playa Patzcuarito is surprisingly easy to get to and takes only 25-30 minutes on foot through the jungle. It is located north of the larger Playa Patzcuaro and south of Playa Carricitos, which are both also well worth a visit but require a bit more effort to get to.
When you do decide to take the hike into Patzcuarito you will be treated to an unimpeded view of the beach and its half-mile of unique black, white, and golden sand. You will also see several vacation rental villas perched high on the cliffs that overlook the beach and will most certainly encounter a train of people riding horses, as the beach is a popular destination for horseback tours.
Swimming at Playa Patzcuarito isn’t the greatest as the waves come in quite heavy from the Pacific Ocean, but with that comes the opportunity for surfers to enjoy themselves and have some fun on a decent wave.
