“Collectively known as the Mexican Riviera, five places garnered nearly all of Mexico’s international tourism receipts: Mazatlán, Puerto Vallarta, Manzanillo, Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo and Acapulco. Daily nonstop flights from the Western U.S. and Canada filled these places with beach-starved, beer-guzzling northerners who came for the trappings of the classic Mexican beach vacation: golden sand, blue waters, beach vendors, parasailing, seafood and — maybe — an outing to get some “culture.” It’s here that we make our latest stop in the MND Where to Live in Mexico Guide 2024, with a look at our Mid-Pacific trio.”
