Banderas Bay Visitor Guide

Banderas Bay and the Riviera Nayarit bring together very different towns and beaches, from Sayulita to Bucerías. Wherever you are, Hospital CMQ is close enough to help if you need it.

What will you find in this guide?

Here we’ve gathered the bay’s most-visited destinations — towns, beaches, and natural areas — with a clear idea of what to expect if you need medical care while you’re there.

This isn’t a traditional tourist guide: it’s built for travelers who want to enjoy their destination knowing that, if something happens, Hospital CMQ has a nearby solution.

Destinations covered in this guide

• Sayulita — a beach town with a bohemian vibe and plenty of surf.

When is it worth checking this guide?

• Before a long trip along the coast, to know how close medical care is.
• If you’re traveling with children, older adults, or someone with a chronic condition.
• If you’re planning higher-risk activities, like surfing, diving, or trips to remote areas.

What do I do if I have an emergency at one of these destinations?

If it’s an emergency, don’t wait — call or head to the nearest Hospital CMQ location; you’ll find the detailed steps on our Vacation Emergency page.

If it’s something that can wait a few hours, message us on WhatsApp and we’ll help you decide the right next step from wherever you are.

Does this guide replace a travel guide?

No. You won’t find restaurant hours or hotel reviews here — that’s what dedicated travel guides are for. Our focus is strictly the health angle: how close medical care is and what to do if you need it.
