With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that San Blas, 19 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights starting with Matanchen Bay Beach, Las Islitas Beach and El Borrego Beach. Nuevo Vallarta is another terrific option. It’s 40 miles away and has an array of interesting things to see and do. Playa Bucerias, Marietas Islands and Nayar Vidanta Golf are only the start.
