Teacapan is a small port fishing village just 75 miles south of Mazatlan. It is located at the tip of an isolated peninsula that stretches some 18 miles down a coastline of pristine beaches and mangrove lagoons. Canals border its other side which is part of the state of Nayarit. Thousands of coconut palms, mango orchards, cattle ranches, and an occasional cluster of houses dot the peninsula which ends at the Boca de Teacapan. This is a natural marina separating the states of Nayarit and Sinaloa. Shrimping and fishing are industries here and the area is rich in natural beauty, flora, and fauna – an ecological paradise.
