Bucerías

A traditional coastal town on Banderas Bay, named for the divers who once worked its waters — cobblestone streets, a beachfront market, and a resident arts scene.

The name comes from buceo — diving — for the oyster divers who once worked this stretch of Banderas Bay; today it's a traditional Mexican town of cobblestone streets and brightly painted buildings, incorporated as a fishing settlement in the 1930s and grown into its present tourist character since the 1980s. A communal market runs alongside a resident arts community — Crearte, the region's arts center, and a seasonal Thursday-evening Art Walk through its galleries.

It reads as the livelier of Banderas Bay's two Nayarit-side towns: more market, more dining, more foot traffic than its quieter neighbor La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, six kilometers up the coast, which keeps the area's working marina and yachting identity instead.
