MEXICO BEACH UPDATES: PRICES JUST DROPPED SOME MORE - SUMMER DATES WITH GREAT FLIGHT SCHEDULES!

Travel dates center around June to September, with a few strong routes extending all the way into spring 2026. Many of the flights are on great schedules, and there’s a healthy mix of both major carriers and low-cost nonstop options.

Why Visit Mexico Right Now?

• San José del Cabo & Puerto Vallarta: Relaxed coastal towns with vibrant food scenes, stunning beaches, and walkable downtowns.

• Mazatlán: Classic Mexican beach destination with a lively malecón and historic center.

• Tulum: Emerging flight options—get there before it gets even bigger. Beautiful coastline meets jungle ruins.

• Mexico City: Urban energy, world-class food, museums, and colorful neighborhoods—perfect for long weekends.

• León & Querétaro: Underrated cities with beautiful plazas, artisan traditions, and warm hospitality—ideal for a quieter adventure.

What’s the Weather Like?

• June–September: Warm and tropical. Highs in the 80s–90s°F (27–35°C), with occasional rain showers and lush, green surroundings. Coastal breezes make beach towns very comfortable.

• October–March (select routes): Drier season for most regions. Warm days, cooler evenings—perfect for exploring inland cities and avoiding peak crowds.

First-Timer’s Tips for Mexico

• Beach destinations are generally very tourist-friendly and well-developed—perfect for easy planning and quick escapes.

• Inland cultural cities like León or Querétaro offer a more local feel, often at lower costs than coastal resorts.

• U.S. citizens do not need a visa, but hold onto your immigration form when entering—it may be required for departure.

• Drink bottled water, and don’t skip the street tacos.

• Use pesos for better pricing at restaurants and markets—most places accept credit cards, but cash is helpful in small towns.
