Sea-Lovers Best place to buy property: La Cruz de Huanacaxtle (The Cross of Huanacaxtle) is a small fishing town sandwiched between Bucerias and Punta de Mita, hosting over four thousand residents.

Known locally as La Cruz, the town is situated twenty miles from Puerto Vallarta. It is rising in popularity for those wishing to purchase a second home in Mexico. Founded in the 1930s, La Cruz has a distinct feel of an old Mexican pueblo coupled with a modern tourist vibe, thanks mainly to the modernization of the harbor and construction of the newest marina in Mexico, one of the largest in the country.

The marina has almost 350 slips that can accommodate vessels up to 400 feet in length and includes a yacht club, business center, sky bar, restaurant, seafood market, and pier.

A short walk from the marina is the main town square, where you will find cafes, stores, restaurants, and a genteel pace of life.
