Playa Buenavista

Playa Buenavista is a secluded beach known for its natural beauty. It is located just a few kilometers from Ixtapa, making it a convenient getaway for those seeking a less touristy destination. The beach is characterized by its privacy, as it is primarily a space for private homes rather than a hotel zone.

The beach's natural characteristics are one of its main attractions. It is home to turtles that lay their eggs on the sand, adding to the unspoiled charm of the area. However, the beach is also known for its fragile waters, which can have strong waves on sunny days.

Despite its beauty, Playa Buenavista faces challenges with waste management. The sea often washes up plastics, bottles, and other kinds of waste onto the beach. As such, visitors are urged to be mindful of their impact on the environment and help preserve this paradise.

Experience the tranquility of Playa Buenavista and find ideal places to stay nearby, where you can witness turtles nesting on the pristine sands.

While the beach does not offer a wide range of amenities due to its secluded nature, it provides a peaceful environment for activities such as quiet walks and runs. Visitors are encouraged to return and continue enjoying the tranquility and beauty of Playa Buenavista.
