Why choose honeymoon photography in Riviera Nayarit?
Honeymooners choose Riviera Nayarit for privacy: a villa above Litibú, a suite at Punta Mita or a small hotel in San Pancho, far from the Puerto Vallarta strip. A honeymoon session fits that pace, 30 minutes on a beach the couple already likes, with the jungle hills behind and the Pacific in front. From December to March the bay adds humpback whales to the backdrop, though not always where the couple is standing.
Worth knowing about Riviera Nayarit
The SEMARNAT whale-watching notice for Banderas Bay keeps observation boats out of a 1.5 km radius around the Islas Marietas and a 2 km coastal strip from Punta de Mita to the mouth of the Río Ameca. A honeymoon portrait with a whale behind it on that shore is luck, not a booking, and the couple sees the whales up close on a separate boat trip.

FAQ — Honeymoon photography in Riviera Nayarit
Will we see whales during a Riviera Nayarit honeymoon session?
Possibly, but not on demand. Humpback whales winter in Banderas Bay, and the 2025–26 observation season ran from 8 December to 23 March. Whale-watching boats stay outside a 2 km coastal strip from Punta de Mita to the Río Ameca, so whales seen from a Riviera Nayarit beach are usually far offshore.
Which Riviera Nayarit beach suits a private honeymoon session?
Playa Litibú, north of Punta de Mita, and Playa San Pancho are the quietest open beaches in Riviera Nayarit for a honeymoon session. The cove of Playa de los Muertos in Sayulita gives rocks and shelter close to town, and all three are public beaches with no published fee for photography on the sand.
