Banderas Bay Area Guides

Banderas Bay (Bay of Flags) is a horseshoe-shaped bay believed to have been formed by an ancient volcanic crater. Banderas Bay measures nearly 20 miles across with over 40 miles of coastline and is considered one of the deepest bays in the world with depths of up to two miles (more than 3,000 feet). With its deep, calm waters, Banderas Bay offers some of the best sport fishing in the world. Also inhabiting the bay you will find Humpback whales, dolphins, sea turtles, giant mantarays, and more.

The Baderas Bay and surrounding area (which includes Puerto Vallarta, Bucerias, La Cruz Punta de Mita, Sayulita and more) is an attractive location for people who are looking for the ultimate place they can call home, or a place to escape daily life for awhile, with palm trees and sandy beaches together with a year round tropical climate. The low cost of living in Mexico, the friendliness and hospitality of the Mexican people, combined with the local cultural attractions and festival events, make The Banderas Bay and its surrounding communities a popular choice for people looking to live or retire here.
