The town is known for its original hand-laid cobblestone streets, giving it a unique character. The real estate market in Bucerias is strong, with both older homes boasting traditional Mexican architecture and newer condominiums that provide stunning ocean views and direct beach access. Bucerias is also home to various art galleries and hosts weekly markets, where visitors can explore local crafts, art, and enjoy gourmet Mexican cuisine. The beach in Bucerias is one of the most beautiful of the Riviera Nayarit. It stretches for 5 miles and is ideal for ocean sports like kitesurfing, windsurfing, and paddleboarding.
La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, located north of Bucerias, features a recently renovated modern marina. It serves as a starting point for tours to the Marietas Islands and deep-sea fishing charters. La Cruz (as called by locals) provides a mix of coastal charm and modern amenities, making it an attractive destination for those looking for a quiet location but close to services, supermarkets and the Marina. La Cruz is also known for its famous La Cruz Marina Fish Market, where you can find the freshest fish and seafood caught daily by the local fishermen.
