When I first heard of the Riviera Nayarit I didn’t even know where it was. I guessed it was on the coast of somewhere called Nayarit, but I wasn’t sure where that was either. Turns out it was partly well-kept secret and partly new name. Seems they’ve been struggling for years to build up a separate identity for this part of the coast – an identity that is independent from that of Puerto Vallarta – hence the new name. But then again it really is very different from Vallarta and also it has been kept under wraps. Maybe it’s because Puerto Vallarta has been so popular for so long that people couldn’t see any point in getting there and moving on up the coast, but I think that’s changing. Thing is, lots of things that attracted people to Vallarta in the first place, like its laid-back small town atmosphere, tranquility, and a kind of humble beauty, are now easier to find further up the coast on the Riviera Nayarit – just means you’ve got to move a little bit once you get to the airport. That might sound like a bit of a pain, but how horrible can making a little trip along a beautiful coastline full of terrific beaches be? I would have thought it would just be a cool part of the whole experience.
