15 Most Beautiful Beaches in Mexico


As frequent visitors to the beautiful country south of the USA, we’re often asked our choices for the best beaches in Mexico. With more than 9,000 km of coastline and nearly 500 beaches to choose from, there’s no quick answer.

To make the question even more complex, beaches in Mexico are as diverse as the country itself.

For starters, on the west coast, you have the golden sands and dark blue of the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of California. While the east coast has the powdery white sand and azure seas of the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico.

Add to this the varied natural backdrops, the cultural contrasts, the overall vibes, plus the different beach activities and amenities, and picking the best beaches in Mexico becomes an even tougher task.

So, which part of Mexico has the best beaches?!

We’ve worked long and hard doing on-the-ground research to prepare for just such a challenge. Of course, selecting the best of anything can be pretty subjective, especially with so many variables.

So, to level the playing field a little, we’ve listed our choices for 15 of the best beaches of Mexico (from the west coast to the east coast) along with the things that make each one so special.

Best Beaches in Mexico

Whether you dream of an idyllic tropical paradise, adrenaline-pumping water sports, epic diving and snorkelling, or a lively beach party vibe you’ll find your perfect Mexican beach right here.

1. Los Muertos Beach, Puerto Vallarta

While it may not be named the most beautiful beach in Mexico it’s definitely the most fun and popular in the state of Jalisco.

Los Muertos beach runs along the edge of colorful Zona Romantica in Puerto Vallarta giving easy access from the cobblestone streets full of shops, bars and restaurants.

The beach itself is also lined with a great assortment of places to enjoy a meal or a drink and is the best people-watching in town. In my opinion, one of the best things about Los Muertos Beach is the eclectic mix of visitors you’ll be joining.

Here you can mingle with local families, retired ex-pats, lively groups of young people, honeymooning couples and proud members of the LGBTQ community who make up a large portion of the visitors to gay-friendly Puerto Vallarta.

Be sure to take a stroll on the iconic modern pier to watch the local fisherman and maybe catch a boat ride to explore beautiful Banderas Bay — one of the top attractions in Puerto Vallarta.

Not too long ago Sayulita was a sleepy town known mostly to backpackers, surfers, and artists. It had a boho-hippy vibe with a sprinkling of casual bars and cafes and a couple of surf shops.

Word has since spread of Sayulita’s beauty and today it’s well on the tourist and ex-pat radar as one of the best beaches in Mexico.

Long known as a surfer’s paradise this “Hidden Port”, which is the meaning of Puerto Escondido, offers challenging “breaks” to even the most seasoned surfer.

If big surf is what you’re after then Playa Zicatela may be the best Mexican beach for you.

However, if you’re looking for gentler waters and a quiet piece of paradise to lounge on head to Playa Carrizalillo, Puerto Escondido’s prettiest beach.

You have to descend 167 steps down a cliff but the effort is well worth it and you’ll definitely not question why it’s named one of the best beaches in Mexico.

Once there you’ll find a peaceful place to swim, snorkel and lounge in the sun. It’s also a good place to try surfing for the first time as the waves are small and easier to manage. There is board rental and lessons available also.

Being a registered protected area means that the spectacular views of the water, desert mountains, and unique rock formations will never be spoiled and the sea and bird life should remain in abundance.
