About The Costa Alegre

 

      Running along Highway 200 from Careyes to Punta Dorada, this strip of Mexican coastline known as the Costa Alegre (aka Happy Coast) attracts tourists in search of communion with nature without sacrificing comfort. Navidad Bay, Tenacatita Bay, Costa Careyes, Chamela Bay, Costa Majahuas, and Cabo Corrientes are just some of the places where you can stop to breathe the fresh air and drink in the expansive view from the cliffs, before basking a while on warm beaches.

 

What is important to understand is that this is not a touristy area and pretty much exemplifies how true Mexico and Mexicans really live. PUNTA SERENA  lies just south of Tenacatita Beach and north of Barra De Navidad (where we will visit and do a shopping excursion) beaches. All of these beaches are know for sealife (turtles and dolphins) and even a crocodile sanctuary! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An exclusive group can practice their skills at local golf courses, while lovers of the outdoors can enjoy cliff-top trails for a bracing early morning walk; forgetting the camera is just not an option here. In the shelter of these cliffs, you'll find naturally isolated beaches where privacy is offered in abundance to visitors – and for free.

 

Guests can rent cars (from the airport) to visit Costa Careyes, El Tamarindo, Las Alamandas, Isla Navidad, Barra de Navidad, Tenacatita, Chamela, and Perula, towns with renowned resorts and by far the most interesting beaches.
