In the Heart of the Riviera Nayarit

Playa Lo de Marcos, Waiting for Sunset

Are you dreaming of life in a tranquil, authentic Mexican beach town? If so, you may fall in love with Lo de Marcos—just as we did. And now, our improved property in this charming Riviera Nayarit community is officially for sale!

Lo de Marcos Plaza with Arch, Garden, and Gazebo

Lo de Marcos is a small, welcoming town known for its pristine beaches and relaxed pace of life. Tucked between palm-covered hills and the Pacific Ocean, it offers an authentic taste of Mexico—far from the crowds of the bigger tourist destinations.

Here’s an AI-generated description I felt captured it beautifully:

Why Lo de Marcos Stands Out

  • Authentic Vibe: A traditional Mexican town with colorful buildings, a central plaza, and a warm local community.
  • Peaceful & Uncrowded: Home to stunning beaches—Los Venados, Las Minitas, and El Atracadero—perfect for swimming, surfing, and soaking in sunsets.
  • Walkable: Easy to explore on foot; golf carts and bikes are popular for getting around.
  • Local Amenities: Filled with eateries, organic markets, artisans, and charming accommodations.
  • Ideal Location: Situated in the Riviera Nayarit, just north of San Pancho and south of Guayabitos, within easy reach of Puerto Vallarta.
Transportation Includes Golf Carts, Horses, and Motos

Main Street Ends at an Arched Beach Access

From the Heart of the Town to the Beach

The downtown plaza is the true gathering spot—complete with a central gazebo, a colorful decorative arch, and beautifully maintained gardens. It’s surrounded by restaurants, shops, and small hotels, offering the perfect blend of local charm and convenience.

Just a short stroll from the plaza, the beachfront comes alive with open-air restaurants where you can enjoy fresh seafood, cold drinks, and incredible ocean views. Several beachfront restaurants line the shore, offering fresh seafood, cold drinks, and the simple pleasure of eating with your toes in the sand. It’s the kind of place where you can linger for hours, watching the waves and enjoying an easygoing coastal meal.

Olivia's Restaurant on the Beach is One of Our Favorites

The Riviera Nayarit tourism website describes Lo de Marcos as “a true Mexican town… with many fine sandy beaches ideal for swimming, surfing, snorkeling, and enjoying exceptional Pacific Ocean sunsets.” One quick Google search will reward you with a slideshow of incredible photos—palm trees, mountains, and uncrowded beaches that stretch peacefully along the shoreline.

One of the Uncrowded Beaches in Lo de Marcos

Some call Lo de Marcos paradise on earth. It’s a restful contrast to the livelier energy of Puerto Vallarta and Sayulita. You’ll find bungalows, villas, RV parks, small hotels, and an abundance of beachfront seafood restaurants—all served with a relaxed smile.

Lo de Marcos is located about 32 miles (52 km) from the Puerto Vallarta airport. Transportation options and additional visitor information can be found on the Riviera Nayarit website:

Happy Autumn from Puerto Vallarta ๐ŸŒป Reflections on Caring for Jon, Sophie, Max, and Myself

It’s been a busy three months caring for Jon, Max, and Sophie—while also reminding myself how important it is to care for my own well-being. November was National Family Caregiver Month, but I’ve decided to make self-care an everyday practice.

I'm Volunteering for Weeding and Planting In the Puerto Vallarta Romantic Zone

Lately, that’s meant spending time gardening with the Vallarta Garden Club, enjoying Zumba with Efren on the Isla Cuale, getting a massage every two weeks, and taking long walks through the Romantic Zone. Part of my self-care also includes gently easing Jon into life here in Puerto Vallarta, which helps bring me a lot of peace of mind.

In late October, I helped Jon move the motorhome from Lo de Marcos to an RV park in Puerto Vallarta. Shortly after, I found him a perfect studio apartment in Colonia 5 de Diciembre and moved him in right away. We also sold the Minnie Winnie just a few days ago—what a relief for both of us! The new owners are already out enjoying road trips with her.
