Young couples are always looking for good places to enjoy the beauties of life, practice adventure sports, taste tasty things and enjoy nightlife.
It is for these reasons that we want to share with these boys and girls the best destinations for young couples in Mexico, destinations that will make your next vacation or weekend outing a charming and unforgettable trip.
The best destinations for young couples in Mexico:
1. Sayulita, Nayarit
The Bay of Banderas is one of the most exciting beach destinations in the Riviera Nayarit and among its beach towns Sayulita stands out.
A young couple has a lot to do in Sayulita, on the main beach. This is excellent for surfing and if you are apprehensive because you are beginners, in the sand there are some schools with competent instructors who will teach you in a short time the tricks to start successfully in the discipline.
Crossing the local cemetery you reach Playa los Muertos, which is calmer and ideal for swimming.
In Sayulita you can board a boat that will take you on a fun ride through the Bay of Banderas and places to do snorkel, snorkeling and kayaking and canoeing.
They can also do tours to the beautiful Marietas Islands and whale and dolphin watching.
2. Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur
This South Californian spa town has become one of the most appreciated destinations for young couples in Mexico for its beautiful, warm and clean beaches.
The tourist introduction to Cabo San Lucas are the natural monument El Arco and Playa del Amor.

The desert landscapes of the municipality of Los Cabos offer the opportunity for you to ride a camel with your partner to do one of the most exciting rides you can imagine. To do this, you just have to contact Outback & Camel Safari.

La Huasteca Potosina is a paradise of waters and spectacular landscapes that will enchant a young couple who love nature.

The boardwalk in front of the ocean is the soul of the city, with its kilometer in length constellated by sculptures and its cafes and restaurants where you can sit and enjoy life with the sea as a witness.
Playa de los Muertos is the liveliest and busiest beach in PV. It is located in the southern part of the boardwalk and its old name, due to the proximity of a cemetery, has nothing to do with its exciting activity.
The boardwalk and Playa de los Muertos constitute one of the limits of Old Vallarta, called the Romantic Zone for the serene beauty of the environment and its peaceful cafes, restaurants and hotels that are cozy havens for lovers.
PV has an annual calendar full of events that complement its magnificent tourist offer, distinguishing itself from the May Cultural Festival (which celebrates the founding of the city) and the Puerto Vallarta International Gourmet Festival (held in November).
