An Adventure In Our Own Back Yard - Punta Negra

One of the things we enjoy most about this area is the variety of beaches to visit.  Sayulita has it's surf scene and vibe unequaled for those who are looking for that sort of the thing.  To the north is San Pancho with a smaller surf scene and great beach for hanging out on but not always very swimmer friendly with it's beach break.

When we are not looking for waves there are great options to the south as well that are only 15-20 minutes away and offer a refreshing change of pace.  This can be extremely important if getting out of town once in a while will help your sanity level.

Only about 15 minutes to the south, just passed the small town of Higuera Blanca is a long beach called "Punta Negra".  We have started to go there quite a bit this fall/winter since we have some friends, Jason and Sophia, who live there and our children are friends.  The sand is white, the beach is long, the crowds are thin and the venders are few.

If there are waves, they won't be great for surfing but our kids have had a great time boogie boarding and just plain playing on the beach. If there is a day where surfing is not on your list of required activities and you are willing to get out of town then Punta Negra is a hard to beat location for the day.  It will always be on our "go to" list beaches for a family day.
