NAYARIT
Chacala
Chacala, Nayarit is a hidden gem along Mexico’s Pacific Coast, located just north of Guayabitos. This charming seaside village has seen steady growth in recent years, drawing attention for its natural beauty, relaxed atmosphere, and increasing real estate opportunities. Nestled in a protected bay, Playa Chacala is the heart of the town — a wide, sandy beach ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and enjoying authentic coastal life.
To the north lies Playa Chacalilla, bordered by a scenic peninsula home to luxurious villas and private residences. Within this area, you’ll find Marina Chacala, an exclusive gated community built around a tranquil bay and small marina, featuring single-family homes and a beach club. Further north, Punta Chacala offers premium real estate with upscale oceanfront properties nestled in the jungle-covered coastline.
Despite its growing appeal, Chacala remains a peaceful and low-density destination, with approximately 450 full-time residents and a seasonal community of snowbirds. Its proximity to Guadalajara—Mexico’s second-largest city—makes it a popular beach destination for the national market. Meanwhile, Canadian and American buyers are increasingly investing in the area, contributing to a vibrant and diverse community.
Thanks to improved infrastructure and the new highway, Chacala is now more accessible than ever — just a short drive to Puerto Vallarta International Airport and other Riviera Nayarit towns.
