Paradises from Above: 5 Stunning Riviera Nayarit Beaches

Stretching along more than 300 kilometers of coastline, Riviera Nayarit boasts a series of beaches that have captivated travelers, surfers and nature lovers for years. However, viewed from above, these beaches reveal an unexpected dimension, appearing as natural compositions that seem to be canvases painted by wind, water and vegetation.

This selection of five aerial images, each taken at a different beach from north to south, reveals patterns, colors and shapes that can only be seen from above. These unique images capture the spectacular coastline.

Carricitos is a peaceful haven, surrounded by lush jungle vegetation. Viewed from above, the golden crescent of the beach is framed by large stone outcrops, with waves crashing in a hypnotic rhythm.

LAS CUEVAS BEACH
Sayulita

This beach appears as a hidden gem amidst jungle paths. Rock formations at the water’s edge create natural caves surrounded by deep blue waters. It is an unparalleled visual spectacle.

CAREYEROS BEACH

Beyond the natural landscape, the aerial image reveals the main attraction of this beach: surfing. This sanctuary boasts long waves that break over golden sand, creating a texture that appears to have been crafted by an expert artist’s hand.

ALBERCA DE MAR BEACH
Punta de Mita

This natural pool, formed among the rocks, offers a curious spectacle: viewed from above, it resembles a crystalline triangle embedded in the coastline. The turquoise waters contrast with the grey and ochre tones of the surrounding stones.
