La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, A Paradise That Offers Tradition And Modernity

 

La Cruz de Huanacaxtle is a small fishing village nestled toward the north end of Banderas Bay in the free state of Nayarit. With a resident population of around 2000, La Cruz received its name after the town cross, made of huanacaxtle wood, that sits at the village entrance. 

While the town holds on to much of its heritage, it has successfully blended tradition and modern life with authentic Mexican-style homes and ultramodern condominiums sitting side by side, attracting new inhabitants from Mexico and around the world. 

In 2008, La Cruz harbor was modernized, with the construction of the Riviera Nayarit Marina, with a capacity to host 400 vessels measuring between 30 and 400 feet. The marina also includes a yacht club, seafood market, sky bar, restaurant, and pier. 

Fishing In La Cruz 

Fishing is one of the main economic drivers in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, with the local seafood market being one of the principal suppliers throughout the bay and Riviera Nayarit. 

With the ocean being home to a wide array of fish, sport fishing has become a popular tourist activity. The town also hosts the International Sport Fishing Tournament of La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, and its coastal waters hold world records for landing the heaviest swordfish and wahoo (scombrid fish). 

Fishing tours are available in La Cruz or any of the neighboring towns, including the city of Puerto Vallarta.
