The village of Barra de Navidad has become an enclave for ex-patriot Americans, Canadians, and Europeans, who have purchased property and built homes or who lease housing for the winter months. It absolutely crawls with tourists in the months of December through April.

Today Barra de Navidad is still a small and sleepy town stretched along the sandbar that curves around the bay toward the neighboring towns of San Patricio/Melaque/Villa Obregon. Barra de Navidad attracts a number of regular visitors from the north in search of a quiet beachside atmosphere without the large hotels and hectic activity of the larger Mexican beach resorts.
