A Beach Town on the Cusp of Discovery 🌊

Sunset walks are part of everyday life in Lo de Marcos.

Lo de Marcos is the kind of beach town people dream about—quiet, friendly, and still wonderfully authentic. Since listing our lot, we’ve been asked many thoughtful questions by people imagining their own future here. Below, I’m answering the three questions we hear most often, to help you decide whether this little corner of Riviera Nayarit might be right for you.

❓ Question 1

How close is the lot to the beach and town?

This is always the first question—and for good reason. One of the joys of Lo de Marcos is being able to walk into town or down to the beach, enjoying daily life without needing a car.

Lo de Marcos is a compact beach town, which means the ocean is always close. From our improved property, it’s a pleasant 17-minute walk to the Tomatina beachfront restaurant, or an easy 5-minute golf cart ride, the preferred way locals get around.

An easy walk or quick golf cart ride from Calle Pino to the beach at Tomatina.

❓ Question 2

Is the lot easy to access, and how close is the highway?

Buyers want convenience without constant noise. This lot offers straightforward access from the highway while still feeling tucked away and peaceful once you’re there.

Set back from the highway, the property feels quiet and private once inside the walls.

❓ Question 3

Does the property have a clear title (escritura)?

Purchasing property in Mexico comes with important legal considerations. We have an attorney working to provide an escritura, giving buyers confidence and peace of mind from the start.

We expect the price to increase upon receipt of the title, likely later in 2026. The lot can be built on, used for an RV, or otherwise improved in the meantime.

Price reduced to 1,850,000 MXN (was 2,000,000) when paying in pesos!

• Secure & walled

• Ready for your dream home or RV

Want to walk or drive by to take a look?

Here's a walking map using Casa Chiva as the starting point for reference. Maps are confusing because Calle Pino is in several places, including these two parallel streets.

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.

Lo De Marcos Plaza is One of the Prettiest I've Seen!

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:
