Riviera Nayarit, with its unparalleled natural beauty and mild climate, is the perfect destination for enjoying water sports during the winter season. This paradise on Mexico’s Pacific coast offers unique experiences that blend adventure, nature, and luxury. Here, the Vallarta Lifestyles editorial team presents three must-try activities for this time of year.

Paddleboarding at Sunrise
The calmness of the sea on winter mornings turns paddleboarding into a magical experience. Bucerías and Punta de Mita are ideal spots to glide over the water while enjoying the sunrise. This sport, perfect for both beginners and seasoned enthusiasts, allows you to connect with nature while working out your body and mind.

Shore Fishing
Shore fishing is a relaxing and accessible activity for those who want to enjoy the ocean without the need for boats. During this season, the beaches of San Pancho and Lo de Marcos are ideal for casting your line and catching species like snook, jackfish, and snapper. With a simple fishing rod and some patience, this activity lets you connect with the environment and, if you’re lucky, take home a delicious reward.
