Mexico’s top Stand Up Paddle Destinations – Costa Careyes
It all began when the Italian visionary Gian Franco Brignone, flying in a small plane discovered his ultimate canvas…The beautiful series of bays that make up Costa Careyes was the landscape that he was searching for, and what is now the Iconic destination of Careyes, with its signature architecture and colorful flare it is a truly magnificent place.
In Careyes nature has been preserved and featured while constructing monuments of modern architecture, with its own unique style, on rocky cliffs, intimate bays, nature has been embraced and reveals some of the most stunning coastline on the Pacific Ocean.
Costa Careyes is nestled in a group of bays just north of Manzanillo, or about three hours south of Puerto Vallarta. It is absolutley one of the best stand up paddle play grounds in Mexico.
