Apart from the activity-rich resorts and hotels, here are some of the incredible things you can enjoy at Punta Mita.
Play a Round of Golf
If you’d rather spend a day on dry land, play a round of golf next to the ocean. Punta Mita golf club features two Jack Nicklaus-designed courses—the Pacifico course and the Bahia course.
Avid golfers will love the “Tale of the Whale” natural ocean island green on the Pacifico course, while the 5 ocean-side holes on the Bahia course will have you in awe of Punta Mita’s beauty.
Remember to dress for the weather if you’re planning on golfing in the Punta Mita heat, don’t forget to dress the part! Take along golf accessories that will protect you while you’re out on the course, like a hat, sunscreen, and a pair of golf gloves for sweaty hands!
Surfing
Punta Mita is also a premier surfing spot. With surf breaks on the north, south, and west sides of the peninsula and a consistent offshore wind, it’s easy to find appropriate spots for advanced, intermediate, and beginner surfers.
If you’re new to surfing, El Ancloteis an excellent place to start. Those who are more confident should try La Lancha, and extremely experienced surfers will find an exciting challenge in the double-overhead reef wedges in the summer months on Burros.
There’s something for every budget, too. Relax at a surf hotel where you’re right in the thick of things, if you’ve got some cash to spare. It’s well worth it. Otherwise, find a surf town and do your own thing.
