Destiladeras Beach
Destiladeras in Nayarit anchors the north shore of Bahia de Banderas, in La Cruz, Nayarit. Destiladeras is a 3-mile-long beach about 3 minutes out of La Cruz at kilometer marker KM7 along the Punta de Mita road, as you leave La Cruz going north. The road twists and turns a bit, (so be careful driving) but is well cambered and banked, and rewards with the occasional delightful reveal of ocean vistas, side-by-side with jagged cliffs and dense forest.
Mid-morning to mid-afternoon is the best time to visit Destiladeras – like many of the longer beaches along the north of the Bay, Destiladeras Beach can get a bit windy in the late afternoon.
