If you are looking for Mexico real estate on the beachfront, the good news is that Mexico has many, many different areas to consider. There is also a considerable variety in the styles of Mexico beachfront for sale, not only varying in property types and styles, but also in community and lifestyle atmospheres. The following are a few of the main regions throughout Mexico which you may wish to consider.
The Yucatan Peninsula – the Caribbean Coast
This area is defined by the highly successful tourist areas like Cancun and Playa del Carmen. While Cancun offers ideal, modern-style, high-rise luxury, Playa del Carmen real estate offers more of a provincial, European atmosphere and lifestyle.
Also in this area is the island of Cozumel, which offers a small-town charm. The town of Tulum, just south of Playa del Carmen is currently showing excellent potential to become the area’s next boom town.
Costa Maya, at the south end of this region, is separated from Tulum by a large nature park, and is the last part of the Mexican Caribbean coast to remain largely undeveloped in terms of large-scale tourism.
The Yucatan Peninsula – West and North Coasts
These areas offer many of the same natural beauties as the Caribbean coast, as well as nice beaches, but in general have been less developed. Prices tend to be lower, but there also tend to be fewer services and activities. Some communities, like Progreso, which is only 30 minutes from the large colonial city of Merida, is a favorite for expats who are trying to get away from all the hustle and bustle of modern life. Campeche, the state along the west coast of the Peninsula, is currently showing excellent potential to take off as a tourist region.
Baja California
One of the key attractions of the Baja California area is its proximity to the U.S. Many areas can be reached by car; for example, Rocky Point only a few hours’ drive from Pheonix. Rosarito is a popular expat area on the beachfront near the border town of Tijuana. Of course, there are always the very popular expat locations of Los Cabos and La Paz.
Pacific Coast
The Pacific coast is known for beautiful views of beaches and mountains, as well as splendid sun sets over the ocean. Puerto Vallarta and Ixtapa offer modern beachfront comfort and luxury. Mazatlan and Manzanillo combine colonial with beachfront for those who enjoy the “best of both worlds.â€Â Down at the south of the country, the state of Oaxaca offers a number of hidden gems – beachfront communities which American and Canadian buyers have only begun to discover, but offer beautiful beaches a lot of potential.
