Punta de Mita is located in the State of Nayarit at the northernmost point of Banderas Bay where the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortes meet. It is within a short drive of Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco. The beaches are of fine, white sand with nearby coral reefs for some excellent snorkeling and diving.

Deep sea fishing, whale watching and surfing are also favorite pastimes on this beautiful area of the coast.

The beachside restaurants at Punta de Mita offer fresh seafood and refreshing drinks; there are surf shops, rental of snorkeling and diving equipment, tours by boat and horseback riding.

Punta de Mita is slated for some major development catering to international tourism, and this plan includes the construction of five luxury hotels, a number of elegant residential communities and three championship golf courses. One of these already built is the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course at the Four Seasons Hotel, a 7,014-yard course which is presently open only to guests of the Four Seasons Hotel but which will eventually be open to Resort Club Members and vacation home residents.
