RINCON DE GUAYABITOS

LOCATION:

Rincon De Guayabitos is located 85-km southeast of Tepic in the state of Nayarit.

HISTORY:

In the 1970’s the Mexican government decided that Guayabitos was to become a resort and an area where foreigners could own property. During Christmas, Easter, and summer Guayabitos has become a haven for tourists that don’t enjoy city life.

ACCOMMODATIONS:

During the low season, August to November, hotels are only half full and you can bargain your rate down. Bungalows are the main types of accommodation, which means they have kitchens. Rates range from US$14 to US$50, weekly and monthly rooms are available. There are several trailer parks with boat launches.

RESTAURANTS:

The majority of restaurants are family run diners. There are many fruit and taco stands along the beach.

NIGHTLIFE:

The popular nightspot is at the Hotel Coco Club. Rock music plays until the wee hours of the morning.

CUISINE:

The local cuisine is seafood and Mexican dishes.

SERVICES:

Banks: The only bank in Guayabitos is the Bancomer, open Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 11am. There are no money exchange desks, but the Bancomer cashes traveler’s cheques

SURROUNDING AREA:

Sayulite: Located 27 km (17 MI) south of Guayabitos Sayulite is a small fishing village. The beach offers swimming, surfing, and fishing.

WHERE TO GO:
Isla Islote: Glass bottom boats line the shore waiting to take 
people for a ride near this island where you can view marine life 
through the boat bottom and see frigate birds and terns nesting on the 
island.

WHERE TO EAT:
Some of the hotels feature a restaurant/bar option where guests can grab 
a bite to eat and meet the neighbors.  Around town you will find a few 
fruit stands and stalls with fruits such as mangos, in season pineapples, 
papayas and melons.  At the Trailor Park Villanueva, perhaps the most 
popular spot to eat, patrons dine on locally caught fresh seafood on the 
beachfront patio.  Chuy’s, a popular local hangout, serves reasonably 
priced Mexican dishes.  For a hearty yet inexpensive meal, head to the 
family-run Cocina Economica Dona Carmen.  Pozole, a spicy pork roast and 
hominy soup, tacos, and local seafood are all on the menu.  The Fuente de 
Sodas Arco Iris has an eclectic menu with items such as tacos, tortas, as 
well as burgers, stew and fruit juices.

WHAT TO DO:
Beaches: Playa Guayabitos is the main beach. Locals and 
tourists head to this beach for swimming, tanning, boat rides, and 
fishing. Farther down the beach there’s and area that’s good for 
bodysurfing and swimming. Afternoon winds make for good sailing and 
windsurfing. To get to Playa La Raza you will need a high clearance 
vehicle. The beach is perfect for sunbathing and camping.

Scuba Diving and Snorkeling: There’s a good dive spot offshore 
of Isla Islote, accessible only by boat. A few local stores sell masks, 
fins and snorkels.

Fishing: The Tournament of Sportfishing of the Sail-Fish is 
celebrated during February.

Tennis: There is a tennis court located at the Hotel Rincon de 
Las Palmas.

WHERE TO SHOP:
There are several mini-markets in town that offer the essential day to 
day items.
