About Rincón de Guayabitos

Rincón de Guayabitos

Rincón de Guayabitos is a popular beach resort area located in the municipality of Compostela, in the Mexican state of Nayarit. The resort area occupies about two km of beachfront and is a popular vacation places due to its gentle waves and proximity to the cities of Tepic and Guadalajara. However, its popularity has led to problems such as the lack of hotel accommodations and little-regulated street vending. Guayabitos is just two kilometers north of the smaller beach town of Los Ayala.
