🏝️ Lo De Marcos, Mexico: The Quiet Beach Town That Won Me Over

Why I Think This Underrated Coastal Gem Won’t Stay a Secret Much Longer

In this episode of the Travel Documented Podcast, I take you along to Lo De Marcos, a quiet beach town tucked just north of Sayulita and San Pancho on Mexico’s Pacific coast. Located along the beautiful Riviera Nayarit, Lo De Marcos feels like the Mexico people talk about before tourism took over—a place where you can still walk on the beach without crowds, sip coffee in peace, and connect with the rhythms of a more authentic daily life.

This is not a trendy tourist destination. There are no all-inclusives, no big resorts, and no polished excursions. Just slow mornings, friendly locals, fresh-caught seafood, and a stretch of sandy beach that feels like it belongs to you. It’s the kind of place that makes you question everything you thought you wanted in a getaway—and I think it’s only a matter of time before more people discover it.

As a solo female traveler, I’ve seen my share of destinations across Mexico. But something about Lo De Marcos stayed with me. In this episode, I share what it’s really like to land in a place that feels untouched and maybe even a little magical.

You'll hear about:

• My real-time reactions to arriving in Lo De Marcos
• Why I think this area is poised for a shift—and what that means for travelers
• How it compares to nearby, more tourist-heavy towns
• What makes it appealing to digital nomads, slow travelers, and those seeking simplicity
• The vibe of the town, the layout, the food, the people.

Whether you're craving a less touristy place to visit in Mexico, scouting for your next long-term stay, or just love exploring quieter corners of the world, this episode offers a look at a town that’s still flying under the radar—but not for long.

🎙️ Plus, I share my predictions for Lo De Marcos and whether or not it can maintain its low-key charm in the years ahead.

Come along as we explore the beauty, simplicity, and quiet transformation of Lo De Marcos—before the rest of the world catches on.
