Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
A beautiful, clean, small beach in Pizota, perfect for beach camping (without a vehicle)
In an unlikely situation, there are bathrooms, trash cans, picnic table, outdoor shower, outdoor sink/ kitchen area in the shade.
Odd things to find accessible to the public on a remote beach in Mexico!
Vallarta Adventures has created these facilities to accommodate the tourists they bring over by boat twice a week from 11am to 130pm for lunch, as a part of a tour of small remote beached in the area.
The rest of the time it is left for the use of locals & tourists to use with care & respect.
People respectfully spending the night are welcome.
The town of Pizota has less than 100 people, only 3 of them from outside of Mexico. everyone knows each other & they will take notice if you leave trash/ messes or otherwise behave poorly. But most locals are friendly, curious & welcoming.
There were frequent horses carrying supplies & such across the beach, families spending a day together, a few couples, a few travelers...
There were lots of dogs, all off leash, mostly residents of the town. A traveling couple had 2 dogs with them who played freely in the surf. I witnessed no aggressive behavior nor fights.
there is a small tienda with basic supplies around the corner towards the pier. There is sometimes a "restaurant" on the patio of a house near the tienda. We were told the woman was on vacation", so no restaurant for us.
No vendors, except the small market.
friendly people. Safe community. One of the last places this idyllic!
We arrived by Water Taxi from Yelapa (50 pesos each/2.50us). You can also get there by private boat (we were quoted $50us). I hear there is a road that takes you to one side of the village, but after that you have to walk your stuff through the hilly village through unclear paths, down to the beach.
Perhaps you can find someone with an ATV or a mule/ horse, or a human to help you carry your supplies in? We hired someone at the pier to help us.
If this is in your wheelhouse to do.... do not miss this place!
