Laid back Mexico

Yelapa is an old charming Mexican fishing village nestled in its own secluded cove.

Accessible primarily by panga (small boat), Yelapa offers a taste of rustic Mexico and is a laid-back retreat for those seeking an informal, off-the-beaten-path lifestyle.

Yelapa has no cars, one paved pedestrian street and only received electricity in 2001 …

Yelapa is home to about 1500 local residents and 200 foreigners. The village is divided into four main areas: the village center (El Pueblo), the main beach (La Playa), the upper river (El Paso) and the point (La Puntilla) where El Jardin is located. La Puntilla is the quietest and least crowded area in Yelapa.

The tiny village is a true escape from civilization. Yelapa’s tranquillity is ideal for those seeking relaxation and a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life. If you love the outdoors and want explore nature, this idyllic spot is made for you.

Go hiking or ride a horse to the refreshing waterfall, swim or snorkel in the cove’s calm waters, try parasailing or fishing, or simply relax on the expansive sandy beach with a cocktail in the sun.
