Mexico is an enigma to say the least. The nation is comprised of 32 different states, and each region differs in terms of the landscape. In some areas, you’ll find a dry desert climate, while in other places you’ll stumble across lush rainforests that are teaming with life. We could dedicate an entire blog post celebrating Mexico’s diversity, but today we’re going to focus on the Pacific coast, which has long been a refuge to the wealthy and famous. If you’re thinking about booking your next adventure to either Los Cabos and Punta Mita, we’re going to break down the best places for swimming!
Punta Mita

Bucerias Beach

You’ll often find locals swimming and sunbathing here, and the calm waters make it the ideal place for light water sports. So grab your paddleboard or rent a kayak and get ready to explore the cerulean-colored water.
Hidden Beach

The waters are very calm throughout the year, and it’s a protected area. This means it’s the perfect place to snorkel and scuba dive to explore the marine biodiversity! There’s also a romantic aspect to Hidden beach, as many couples tend to take advantage of the alluring sunset to propose to their loved ones!
Los Cabo
Switching locations from the Riviera Nayarit, it’s time to discover the Los Cabos region, which comprises of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo. Situated at the tip of the Baja California Peninsula, the waters of Los Cabos are warm throughout the year. Here are a few beaches that are perfect for swimming in the area!

There are numerous restaurants and amenities that line the sandy coast, making it the perfect place to spend the day with the family. On the other hand, if you’re looking to indulge in a bit of fun in the sun, there are a handful of beach clubs offering endless margaritas and daiquiris.
