Litibu Surf Spot

Litibu is the kind of place you instantly fall in love with; it is the isolated, pristine beach where the water has the color of blue topaz and the sand under your bare feet feels just right. It is a tropical paradise with full exposure to the wind and oceanic waves, making it the ultimate surf spot for those looking to ride some of the best waves in Mexico.

You’ll find Litibu at a midpoint location between the villages of Sayulita and Punta Mita, making it a 15-minute drive to any of them. From the Puerto Vallarta international airport, it’ll take you at least 45 minutes to reach Litibu, but there are no paved roads to get there. It is a secluded jewel where oftentimes you’ll find yourself surfing on your own with no one else around. That’s how great and private it is, a whole beach almost for yourself. Just imagine that! Of Course, you’ll see some beautiful villas in the distance. And perhaps you will encounter some other spontaneous visitors enjoying the beach as well.

Although the waves in Litibu are not very consistent, the current from the ocean tends to be stronger than it is in the nearby Banderas Bay. It is also a great place to practice your takeoff, from paddling to pop-up, as the waves are mostly close-out waves. It is a great place to get some good practice as well, or if you’re inviting someone who has just been introduced to the sport. The beach here is super longboard friendly.

Litibu Beach is the dream of every Dawn Patrol member out there…

Other surf spots in the Punta Mita area offer more consistent waves than Litibu, yet Litibu is a must-visit location if you are in the area. Get there with the first light of dawn and enjoy this fantastic place to the fullest. It is a magical place beyond your imagination, where the Monkey mountains, the isles, and the Pacific Ocean create a spiritual scenery that will empower your admiration for Mother Nature.
