We love San Pancho and recently bought two homes there that we visit and rent out. I’ve seen some posts that people are concerned about swimming there due to the large waves and currents. We are near the north end of the beach and loved playing in the waves almost every day. The surf is strong but was fun. And it is relatively shallow some distance into the ocean it felt very safe for us. (Some areas the sand seems firmer and more shallow than others.) Closer to the town, the waves are smaller and kids play in the surf.

Here is a beach video I made from images I shot in May 2017. (Low season and a great time to visit.)

Great to read this! We are heading to San Pancho in December with 2 kids (4 and 1). Any tips on finding a place to stay? Would it be worth finding an expensive vacation rental for a week and trying to find something cheaper/longer term once we are there? Hoping to stay for anywhere from 3-5 months, depending on how we like it ;) So we’re looking for something affordable, longer term than a vacation rental and hopefully something spacious so we can have friends visit!! Any tips/ideas would be super appreciated, thanks!

[…] We began 2014 in the small, friendly beach town of San Pancho, Mexico. We fell in love with the community, the people, the dogs, the sunsets, the food, the yoga and the surf. It’s the type of place we could see ourselves living in permanently one day. And while we made countless wonderful memories during our time there, one of the highlights had to be going humpback whale watching. We squeezed into a small boat and floated in the Pacific Ocean, waiting for the whales to approach us. And boy, did they approach us! At one point during the tour, a mother, father and baby humpback whale swam so close to our boat that we could have reached out to touch them. It was a beautiful moment that still gives both of us goosebumps to think about. […]

So pleased you got to experience San Pancho. We still really miss it there! We recognise lots of the faces in those photos too – Lilly the dog, and Chris and Hilary the humans! And I so remember the zumba music. It was directly before my yoga classes each day so we always had to wait for it to finish until I could start!
