Rincón de Guayabitos
Spend 1–2 days for beach relaxation, surf and low‑cost meals; arrive by bus or car from Puerto Vallarta (≈90 min).
Rincón de Guayabitos is a small Pacific‑coast beach town in Nayarit, popular with families and surfers. Its compact layout makes walking or biking the easiest way to explore, and budget‑friendly lodging and eateries keep costs low. One full day covers the main beach, a few local restaurants and a short bike ride; a second day adds a nearby beach or a relaxed morning.

- North America ↗Crossing between the US, Canada and Mexico by land needs your passport even on a day trip; rental cars need the company's written permission to cross, and most US and Canadian rental insurance stops at the Mexican border.
- North America ↗Cannabis is legal in Canada and in many US states, but taking any amount across the US, Canadian or Mexican border is a federal crime — including edibles and vapes.
- North America ↗The busiest US and Canadian national parks need timed-entry, campsite or lodge reservations in summer; release dates are months ahead.
- Mexico ↗Check entry rules for your passport with Mexico's National Migration Institute (INM) or your nearest Mexican consulate; keep proof of your entry (stamp or digital record) until you leave.
- Mexico ↗Security advice differs by state: some governments advise against travel to parts of several states. Check your own government's advice for each region on your route.
- Mexico ↗Do not drink tap water; use bottled or filtered water and ice from reliable places.
- Mexico ↗Foreign visitors to Quintana Roo (Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Bacalar, Holbox) pay the state VISITAX online at visitax.gob.mx only; lookalike sites add fees.
