Top 10 Free Things to do in Bucerias, Nayarit
Meaning “place of divers,” Bucerias on Mexico’s Pacific Coast is a charming antidote to the hustle and bustle of nearby Puerto Vallarta. You’ll meet the friendly locals and enjoy beautiful beaches, fantastic dining, outdoor activities and art galleries. Locals congregate in the small plaza in the center of town or head for the beach for some sun and unfettered mountain and bay views. Beyond the beaches of Bucerias, you’ll find superb dining, flea markets laden with special treasures, art galleries, and pubs. Once you’ve tired of the sun, meander through the flea market off the main plaza and tour the residential side of Bucerias, complete with boutique shopping and quality restaurants like La Quinta di Francesco and Adriatico. Some of the best art galleries in town include Splurge Art Gallery, showcasing emerging local artists and designer pewter. On Thursday evenings, participate in the local art walk, and on Sundays, visit the authentic Mexican market. From Bucerias, explore other Riviera Nayarit locations such as Savulita, Punta Mita and San Francisco – they’re all accessible by cheap, frequent bus service.

I like this little store for it's one of a kind gifts. They have lovely homemade gifts for a fairly inexpensive price. You can also take glass making classes if you are going to be in Bucerias for any length of time.

Sophie (I believe I have her name correct) along with her husband make these jewellery pieces. The work is excellent and Sophie is a sweet woman. I bought a ring from her this year and love it. Very much worth the visit.

This store is similar to a Kroger or Walmart or Fred Meyer. It has a large grocery selection, fresh bakery, good produce, fresh meats, seafoods, large deli and dairy. They have all the variety stuff you need too. There is a pharmacy also. Interesting selection of milks that don't need to be refrigerated on the shelf, the 1% milk tastes just like stateside once it chilled after you get it home. Lots of liquor but prices on the browns, (bourbon, whiskey, scotch, etc) are really high. This store is located about a mile from VillaPalmar Flamingos or RUI. And easy flat walk with an overhead walkway to avoid the traffic. Connected to the store are a bunch of banks and cash machines. We had trouble with all of the bank cash machines but were able to use the ones within Mega itself with no problem. An interesting note, if you are visiting and find you bought too much of something, you can return it,unused, unopened of course, just make sure you have your receipt. Its also located in the same parking area as LaComer, a bit more expensive and trendier grocery and variety store, with different selections of many wines and liquors than Mega. Go to both!

Take a break from the market vendors and sun. Step into the courtyard surrounding this church and you will instantly calm and enjoy the serenity amidst all the busy streets. There are benches throughout this garden. Beautiful stained glass inside as well as seating for self reflection.

On our first night in Bucerias it seemed like a sweet, quiet little town. On Art Walk night it all changed. This was a hopping town, people everywhere having dinner and drinks and fun. Lot's of great street vendors and musicians. Take time to visit on this night, well worth it.

Stopped by El Brujo and enjoyed a great table on the beach. Fantastic view of the bay. Chips and salsa are provided at no charge, goes well with ice cold refreshments. We ordered as a light lunch the chicken nachos and they were delicious, the best I have ever had in PV. On Wednesday it is 2 for 1 ribs, so definetly try this place in Bucerias.
