Getting to the beach is quite simple: just take a short walk along the trail.

6 more beaches are also available within a 5 km radius. The best one is Sayulita beach, which has a rating of 8.3.

Malpaso beach (Nayarit) is located outside the Sayulita settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot.

The beach is absolutely stunning, but it's important to be cautious of theft. We came across some negative reviews that mentioned the lack of people around, and unfortunately, we experienced this firsthand when one of our backpacks went missing after just a few minutes of swimming. It appears that individuals may be lurking in the trees, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

The journey to reach this picturesque beach is simply breathtaking. We reached the spot early in the morning, and it felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. The trail leading up to the beach is slightly uneven and suitable for pets as well. My suggestion would be to visit before the crowds start pouring in. Once you set foot on this beach, you'll feel like it's tailor-made just for you!

A stunning and isolated beach lies nestled between Sayulita and San Pancho. Our group of 30 and 40-somethings had a relatively effortless hike from the Sayulita side. We parked our vehicle at the town's far end and followed a dirt path through a wooded area and along a hillside. This path led us to a breathtaking beach that boasted caves, palm trees, and complete seclusion. It felt like a slice of paradise.
