Welcome to all 1,740 newsletter subscribers!
Summer officially arrived this past Friday and brought rainy season with it. We have enjoyed light to moderate showers almost everyday since then. To help plan your upcoming trip or your day in the bay, don't forget to check the current weather conditions on the Official Jaltemba Bay Weather Page. There have been several articles written about Riviera Nayarit lately, but the majority of them don't even mention Rincón de Guayabitos, La Peñita or Los Ayala. This made me wonder -- do travelers not want to venture that far from the "big city" of Puerto Vallarta -- or are people not interested in exploring off the beaten path? The only reason I could come up with is that people simply haven't discovered our area yet. This inspired me to write the article below. Please share it with everyone you know. And for those of you who have never been here... come, before the rest of the world finds out! Once again, we want to thank our new advertisers. Their support will help cover some of the time and costs associated with producing this FREE newsletter during the summer. If you own a business, restaurant, hotel or vacation rental please consider advertising, and be sure to let your favorite local businesses know about our community website as well.
To find out what else is happening, read through the information below and take a peek at our online Community Calendar.
The next issue of the Jaltemba Bay Life Newsletter will arrive in your Inbox on Wednesday, July 10 just in time for your morning coffee. In the meantime, keep an eye on our blog, as we post information, stories and photos there on a regular basis.
Saludos!

Net Fishing -- Evening and Weekend Ritual
by Ken & Bea Rauch
|  |
Although we have seen local fishermen net fishing for bait fish occasionally, it seems the art of net fishing is a favoured form of relaxation at the end of a busy day or on weekends. Many times we have watched as a family arrives at the mouth of the estuary on the north beach of Guayabitos on either side... Read More |
