The entire northern coastline from Bucerías to Punta Mita is a succession of sandy coves alternating with rocky inlets. For years the beaches to the north, with their long, clean breaks, have been the favored locale for surfers. The broad, sandy stretches at Playa Anclote, Playa Piedras Blancas, and Playa Destiladeras, which all have palapa restaurants, have made them favorites with local residents looking for a quick getaway. At Playa Anclote you'll find a broad, sandy beach with protected swimming areas and a few great palapa (thatched roof) restaurants. Of the restaurants, El Anclote and El Dorado have been the long-standing favorites, but Mañana, by Chef Roger (tel. 329/291-6374), is raising the culinary bar of this casual dining area. It's open Tuesday through Sunday 10am to 9pm, in summer 1 to 9pm. All have beach chairs available for your postmargarita nap in the sun.
