Once just a sleepy fishing village, La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, commonly called La Cruz, is now a major attraction for boaters and others who have discovered its beautiful beaches and fine facilities. Marina Riviera Nayarit is world-class and provides the services that those cruising along Mexico’s Pacific coast near Puerto Vallarta treasure. With a prime Bay of Banderas location and great weather year-round, it is ideal for anyone who wishes to experience Old Mexico charm without sacrificing modern conveniences. Vacation rental condos and villas on or near the beach are packed with amenities.
Recreational possibilities on land and at sea are limitless. With calm waters, swimming, sailing, jet skiing, snorkeling and fishing are popular. Going out on a whale and dolphin watch can be lots of fun. With countless sun drenched days, it’s no surprise that golf, tennis, horseback riding, bird watching and hiking along the picturesque paths around La Cruz are crowd pleasers.
On the charisma scale, La Cruz ranks very high. Cobblestone streets in town are home to shops and restaurants that feature the local wares and fare. For a quick breakfast or lunch and a look at local artists at work, stop by Hikuri, Art Gallery and Café, where talented, indigenous Huichol crafters do weaving, woodwork and silk screen printing. In the evening, diners at many eateries are treated to live musical performances as they enjoy fresh seafood dishes seasoned with special spices.
From compact condos to huge mansions, vacation rental homes in La Cruz will suit all visitors.
