 Now is the time to discover traditional, laid back "La Cruz" with its small shops and restaurants, unpretentious accommodations and burgeoning music scene. The main square overlooking the ocean is a good place to soak it all in, while watching fishermen mend their nets. Little known to foreign tourists until recently, life in this rustic fishing village still meanders at a leisurely manana pace, but the town is in a state of flux. Still small-town Mexico to be sure, it is soon to be energized — or ruined, depending on your perspective — by a world-class marina being built here with slips for 400 boats, a seaside promenade, outdoor theater, condominiums, shops, restaurants and more that will draw international attention. And luxurious residential communities are springing up to cater to the increasing numbers of North Americans who have already discovered it.
- Reached by public bus, private car or taxi
- Exit the highway two kilometers after the Punta Mita exit- - Don't miss checking out Philo's, a really neat restaurant-bar that doubles as the local community center, offering language classes, great live entertainment and information about everything going on in town.
