Lovely! Thx for conveying the good feel in San Pancho. Feeling inspired to explore it too, next time in PV / Sayu. Also, I so appreciated your tranquilo vibe and your good Spanish pronounciation.
Spent two nights here before heading to Sayulita. Really enyoyed our timebhere and loved the quiet layed back vibes. Ocean is very rough so be careful. Many choices for food from local family places to street food and american style restaurants. Webare in Sayulita now and can honestly say we enjoyed both towns equally.
Visited San Pancho a few days ago, and I can confirm the ocean waves are very strong with an undercurrent to match. But gosh, like you, we adults had a blast getting pounded by the waves, although I'm not sure how smart it was.
Just as an FYI, its not a swimming beach, its a surfing beach, Bucerias is swimming calm, as you didn't swim there, you many not have realized that the day you were trying to get into the ocean its mostly like that. And with the added steep hill when tide out, makes it even harder.
My wife and I, along with our daughter and son-in-law are planning a trip to Mexico in November. We went to Zihuatanejo in February and loved it. Can you recommend some places to stay in San Pancho on or near the beach and within walking distance of restaurants and shops. Is there a less quieter area of Puerto Vallarta that you can recommend? If you have been to Zihuatanejo how does Puerto Vallarta and San Pancho compare? Thank you.
Ive wanted to go to Sayulita since the 00s and thought now was the time but I'm hearing a lot about sapovirus concerns so I'm very curious about San Pancho since it seems more like the Sayulita I wanted to visit 20yrs ago. Thanks for the video I'm going to look into visiting next months! Is a 5 night trip too much for the small town? My wife and I love the beach (we live near it in California and go often) so we always like to center our vacations around being on the sand but we'd like to explore and do more than just eating/sunbathing/shopping. Should we maybe do a couple nights in Puerto Vallarta and end in San Pancho for 3 nights for a calming end to the trip? Sorry if this is a long comment haha
You missed the best of san pancho and that's staying for sunset on the beach is magical every evening. If you want more laid back check lo de marcos which will be the next chill vibe town.
Yes - you can fly into Puerto Vallarta Airport and then rent a car right from there. It's perfectly safe to rent a car- just be sure to book directly with the car companies so that you don't incur any surprise fees ( you can read my article about renting a car in mexico here: www.eternal-expat.com/2019/01/14/renting-a-car-in-mexico/ ).
Exactly what we're looking for! BUT.....can you find a place to get steaks?(we're carnivores) And, can you share some information about apartment/condo rentals? TFS!
Deffinitively in Mexico the carnivores have no problem at all, the Mexicain are carnivores too 😉 And the accommodation depends on what you are looking for m, but you can find deffinitively beautifull hôtels and RnB, just have a little look on the net 😊
Laura, Thank you for your excellent work. Much appreciated! Will
Thanks for taking the time to comment, I'm glad you enjoy the videos!
Muy Bueno!!!Gracias!
Gracias, Greg!
Thanks for the great video. Just bought a place in Sayulita and excited to explore the neighbor town!
Lots of amazing beaches and little towns to explore from there!
Hi Laura! Excellent vlog! I really enjoyed!
I'm so glad you liked it!

Great video! we're heading to that region in a couple weeks - will definitely check out San Pancho! :)
Thank you for sharing your video
Great laugh....loved this video and going to visit this area eventually
Glad you liked the video!! Hope you enjoy your trip!
Looks beautiful but my heart is in Bucerias....and my house lol. I will definitely try a day trip there this coming winter though.
Very nice video. Just came across your channel. Love the calm vibe in your videos and the way you take us on the journey with you. Subbed.
Thank you so much that’s kind of you to say, I’m glad you like the style of the videos!

Apologies for my poor spelling on my last comment. Too many cervezas.

We love San Pancho!
It's definitely a special place!

If you had to choose one for relocation…. BCS or Nayarit?
What is the local cell / data situation? I use Holafly for now, so wondering if anyone can share their experience in San Pancho?

Pretty place. It looks a bit too busy for me.

Is it safe to rent a car and explore towns in Nayarit. Do you fly into Pto. Vallarta airport?

I love small Mexican beach towns...San Pancho, Lo de Marcos, Melaque, Barra de Navidad...no interest in the big tourist traps anymore. 👍
I've been to San Pancho quite a few times -unfortunately the water has a bad undercurrent & is not safe for children
Yes, it's definitely a strong current, like many of the beaches along this coastline.
@@laura-bronnerI think the point is there are better places to swim
🙏🙏🙏🏖
