Bucerias: Bucerias is a quaint Mexican town of about 8,000 people, brimming with good restaurants. It exudes an ambiance like that of a simpler Puerto Vallarta, thirty years ago. Bucerias is lined with cobblestone streets, white-washed houses, and a beautiful long, broad, white sandy beach. The Bucerias beach located mid-town is one of the longest and widest on the bay. The shores are shaded by large palm trees if you just want to relax and enjoy the fresh ocean air. Horses are also available here for rent by the hour.
The calm, warm sea, gentle waves, clean fine sand, a picturesque town with cobblestone streets, friendly people and tropical surroundings. Stunning sunrises and sunsets, and excellent restaurants serving delicious local cuisine. A town with all the modern tourist facilities. What more can you ask in a vacation destination? Come swim and sunbathe, go deep sea fishing or diving, ride a bicycle or just stroll down the beach. Rest, relax, have a good time. Bucerias is the ideal place for it, and it's just a few minutes by taxi or bus from Puerto Vallarta. Modern, yet steeped in Mexican tradition, in Bucerias the pace is yours to set. Looking up at the rugged Sierra Madre mountain range provides a dramatic backdrop to the lush jungle spilling into the Bay of Banderas. If you're curious, hiking, biking and horseback riding are excellent ways to get into the jungle and snorkeling, diving, beach-combing, kayaking, golfing and fishing are literally right at your feet. You can do it all! Only 19km (12 miles) north of the Puerto Vallarta airport, Bucerías (Boo-sayr-ee-ahs), meaning "place of the divers" is a small coastal fishing village of 8,000 people on the shores of Banderas Bay that has become popular with Canadian and North American visitors. Nestled inside the Bay of Banderas, this seaside village with its town square and church has become a favorite vacation spot for those looking for the perfect vacation hideaway.
An old fashion Mexican town, Bucerias has plenty of local color with its many shops and town square market. Visit the church and the town plaza (LaPlaza), a lovely area for walking or simply sitting and taking a break. The square forms the hub of the downtown area. Comprised of an intimate handful of streets, Bucerias is known for galleries, fine shopping, delicious food and warm hospitality that lends an air of a simpler time to this oasis. Bucerias has more than 25 good restaurants, three fish markets, fresh fruit and vegetable shops, several variety/convenience stores, pharmacies, doctors and a dentist (English spoken), and many nice shops that will fill your shopping needs--and you are only about 20 minutes from downtown Puerto Vallarta.

English is spoken in most of the shops and restaurants. Dozens of open-air restaurants line the beach and all are within walking distance of Condo del Mar.
Those who enjoy a small village atmosphere will be at home here. Besides beaches, there are 5 golf courses within a 15-minute drive of Condo del Mar. The golf course at Punta de Mita was designed by Jack Nicklaus as a signature course and has 6 beachfront holes with breathtaking surroundings and boasts the world's only true "island green" --an awesome 196-yard par 3 to a spectacular island out in the ocean!
There is a world class full service marina five miles away in Nuevo Vallarta offering fishing charters, snorkeling and diving excursions, and trips to the Islas Marietas via a 60’ wooden schooner. Bucerias is served by local taxis and offers frequent bus service to all the attractions and other points in the Bay of Banderas area. There are several agencies in Bucerias where you can rent cars, mountain bikes and kayaks, book jungle tours, whale watching cruises, snorkeling and scuba diving trips, ocean kayaking adventures and deep sea fishing trips. You can go horseback riding on the beach and in the jungle, charter sail and power boats, watch bullfights, and visit Sayulita for a day's surfing. While Bucerias may not have the nightlife of Puerto Vallarta, it does have the quaintness and the pristine beaches that made Puerto Vallarta famous to begin with. The wide, white sandy beach with its long shallow shoreline is perfect for body surfing, boogie boarding, walking, jogging or just collecting shells.
Bucerias, with its colourful streets, beautiful beach and friendly people is a low-key experience in a slow paced and easy-going small town. If relaxing sounds good to you and you are looking for a change of pace, Bucerias has it all!
Other favorite area destinations may necessitate catching a bus or renting a car. The nearby community of La Cruz de Huanacaxtle offers additional restaurants and has a protected harbour in a cozy little cove. Be adventurous and walk from to Bucerias to La Cruz along the water. It's a great way to explore the area. |
