Vacationing Singles Welcome in the Riviera Nayarit

© Tara A. Spears

Ahh, the single life. Freedom to do what you want, how you want, when you want – but if all that alone time is getting a bit, well, lonely, or you seem to be in a social holding pattern, head to the Riviera Nayarit and experience the rejuvenating beauty and charm of Mexico! Make your plans before the holiday/winter doldrums set in and look forward to relaxing on warm beaches with an opportunity to meet new people and experience another culture while you have grown-up fun.

The small ocean side communities within 90 minutes of Puerto Vallarta’s airport have lots to offer at very affordable prices: comfortable to luxurious accommodations, excursions that range from historical to ecological to art; beach bars with dollar beers that allow one to cut loose, and a low key nightlife with excellent dining, live music and dancing. Whether you’re newly retired, simply looking for adventure, or gay or lesbian, the Jaltemba Bay area is very cosmopolitan and welcoming without the hassles of a large urban area. Pack your sunscreen and leave your business attire at home as you will enjoy the fantastic sunsets over the Pacific best with sand on your feet. Whatever you're into and whoever you're looking for, your chance of meeting someone is better in a lower density community where everyone talks to you.

The bounty of Nayarit

Whatever you're into and whoever you're looking for, your chance of a meeting someone is better in a laidback, lower density community where everyone talks to everyone. The resident expats are more open minded than those back home or they wouldn’t be living in a foreign country. In the villages along the Riviera Nayarit coast, about half of the inhabitants are Mexican, the other half international residents with 70% of those from Canada, 20% from the US, and the remainder from Europe so it’s easy to strike up a conversation in English, Spanish or French.

There are plenty of restaurants, local shopping in quaint family operated small stores and a quick trip by car, taxi or bus to malls and chain store larger selections besides numerous fun activities such as snorkeling, fishing, golf, beach parties, live music, eco-tours or historical junkets, and art galleries. The local charitable organizations host excellent events throughout January, February, and March that are memorable and well attended.

The warm beaches of Mexico make for hot singles travel destinations south of the border especially if you prefer a quiet and not-so-crowded area with sun drenched days eight months of the year. The La Penita de Jaltemba/ Rincon Guayabitos seaside community of about 10,000 residents embodies authentic Mexican culture and tradition while boasting a pristine beach where it is still possible leisurely enjoy the outdoors. Originally a fishing village, it has drawn thousands of foreigners to relocate to the Jaltemba Bay area to enjoy the affordable amenities. As expat resident Sydnee said, “I feel so lucky to live here. I have a better quality of life in Mexico than I would have if I’d retired in Oregon.”

Secure

While the foreign news screams about the drug cartel murders, the Riviera Nayarit is fortunate to still be exempt from major crime. Testament to the security of the area is the dozens of single women that have relocated here and live comfortably and safely. The community has quality medical care, an excellent local police force, with many bilingual officers, and a new state of the art EMT facility. However, being a rural community, dirt roads and non air conditioned local stores are the norm. The numerous rental properties, hotels, apartments and bed and breakfast facilities are as safe as those in any country.

Be bold; be daring; come let the magic of Mexico kindle a romance. Even if you don’t meet the one you will have a great time enjoying the tropical splendor of the Riviera Nayarit.
