About Chacala
Chacala, located about one hour North of Sayulita, is a quaint little fishing village and one of the best kept secrets of the Riviera Nayarit. Don’t miss this pristine, clean beach, ideal for walking, boogie boarding, snorkeling, and swimming.
Chacala has a very different feel than the bustling and action- packed Sayulita. If you find yourself in the market for tranquility while still enjoying the beach and some delicious food, then Chacala is definitely worth a visit!

Things to do
If you are a serious surfer, a short panga (small fishing boat) ride around the corner will take you to the famous wave called "La Caleta". Other Chacala highlights include, visiting the petroglyphs, fishing from the point, snorkeling, and beach hanging. For a bite to eat, explore the beachfront palapas serving fresh seafood and local favorites.
Staying in Chacala
Steps away from the town of Chacala is a resort development called Marina Chacala. Here you will find the beautiful gated community of Marina Chacala Resort. There is a private beach club, three pools, a restaurant, and the pristine beach in Chacalilla Bay with giant palm trees that are over 70 years old.
There are many beautiful homes in Marina Chacala. If you are traveling with a group, be sure to check out Casa Cleofas, a beautiful 5 bedroom home with 5 master suites, all with King size beds and ensuite baths. Another option is the four bedroom Casa Almendra.
