It might be an outdoor enthusiasts' paradise, but attractions are a little thin on the ground in Nayarit. Fear not.

Its diversity of museums is extraordinary, with subjects that range from naval history to tequila. Just outside of town, the Vallarta Botanical Gardens have a marvelous collection of orchids as well as other exotic flora. Before you return to Nayarit, don't skip grabbing a bite to eat at one of the waterfront restaurants on Vallarta Marina.

Jet into Nayarit for a little winter sun
The most comfortable time to stay in a Nayarit vacation rental is between December and March, when the temperature hits the low 80s in the day, but the evenings are cool. The sea temperature dips a little over winter, but it's still perfectly comfortable for swimming or water sports. A little later in the season, the prices of rentals takes a dip between April and June, the temperature begins to increase and the crowds thin out leaving long stretches of sand available for the taking. If you don't mind the afternoon rainfall, you can score some rock bottom prices if you visit in fall.
Resident crocodiles and manta rays in Nayarit

If you're a birdwatcher, go on the search for the endemic San Blas jay, which often tops birders' most wanted lists. Don't jump into the state's lagoons or you may very well get a little too close to one of the resident crocodiles, a magical creature to see from a safe distance. Dive down under the water to spot giant manta rays and gentle and completely harmless whale sharks.
