The west coast of Mexico conjures up images of an exotic land of eternal summertime, isolated anchorages and pristine white sand beaches - it’s no myth.
Palm trees line the shoreline, with fronds swishing to the rhythm of the gentle, yet consistent breezes. For those visiting on luxury superyachts, the Pacific Coast of Mexico has numerous anchorages that can satisfy the wanderlust in any of us.
There are several ports and towns to visit along the west coast of Mexico from Mazatlan, directly across the Sea of Cortez from the tip of the Baja Peninsula and home of the attractively designed and landscaped luxury five-star El Cid Resort, to Puerto Vallarta which remains a modest-sized town of cobblestone streets, leading to a colonial plaza and a lovely cathedral. Beyond the cities, coves and marinas there are a host of wonderful villages and islands to explore when coming off the yacht.
The restaurants along the west coast of Mexico specialise in fish and seafood. Another pull to the area for nautical lovers is the stunning snorkelling and diving on offer. The west coast of Mexico features grottos of brilliant emerald-green coral which shelter mesmerising tropical fish.
