México is characterized by its natural beauties throughout its territory. From north to south and east to west, it is possible to find landscapes of mountains and ranges, transparent sheets of water, historic cities, and charming villages.

Each region has its particularity that makes it unique. On the west side of the country, where the Pacific Ocean bathes the cities located along the coast, there is a region that stands out for encompassing small but beautiful villages with a unique natural landscape. This region is Costalegre, which, in turn, includes six areas: Costa Majahuas, Chamela Bay, Costa Careyes, Natal Bay, Cabo Corrientes, and Tenacatita Bay.

Although each of them preserves a unique beauty, Tenacatita stands out because it is also the perfect and most recommended place for practicing water and underwater sports such as snorkeling and diving.

The beaches are known for being semi-virgin. Once you visit them, you will be amazed by their perfection, with clean, crystal-clear waters and very fine sand, ideal for walking along.
