Surfing

About

Surfing in San Pancho offers a wilder side of the Riviera Nayarit coast, where powerful Pacific waves meet golden sands and jungle-covered hills. Just north of Sayulita, this open beach is known for its fast, challenging breaks, including a left-hand wave near the southern rocks and shifting peaks along the shoreline. Best suited for intermediate and experienced surfers, San Pancho delivers an exciting blend of ocean adventure, tropical scenery, and authentic surf-town charm.
