Bucerias, in the state of Nayarit is a small Mexican village situated 15 minutes north of the Puerto Vallarta airport.
It is nestled inside the Bay of Banderas.
This seaside village with its town square and church has become a favorite vacation spot for those looking for a hideaway.
Bucerias, the town name is from the verb bucear "to dive", was once an outpost to buy and eat oysters, and is now a bustling town of approximately 20,000.

The white sandy beaches are excellent for windsurfing, jogging, walking or just collecting shells.
They also offer peace and quiet.

There are restaurants and galleries, dress and gift shops, small groceries selling fresh fish and shrimp, vegetables and fruit all within walking distance.
