San Pancho is a charming walkable cobblestone village on the sea. The main street of shops and restaurants dead ends in a square at the beach. Bring your binoculars, as birds flock in trees and the wide, long pristine beach hosts sunbathers, families and surfers to celebrate the setting sun.

Creatives, artists, writers, foodies, beach, birders and surfers will adore the old-world Mexican charm of Pan Pancho. Tuesday’s don’t miss the farmers market brimming with mariachi, crafts, clothes and food.
