Gay Pride March 2017 in Tepic

Nayarit state is known for it's smaller beach towns but the gay scene that exists in the state is centered in the state capital of Tepic. We've split our listings into the following pages:

• Tepic - The state capital isn't generally considered a tourist destination but you'll find a small but active gay scene and a well established annual pride march.

• Riviera Nayarit - the string of smaller beach towns such as Nuevo Vallarta, Sayulita, San Pancho, Bucerias, San Blas and Rincon de Guayabitos north of Puerto Vallarta are quieter and more laid back than Puerto Vallarta and have a significant LGBT population but no exlusively gay nightspots (except for Nuevo).
