Costa Careyes is a private community located on the south coast of Jalisco, Mexico, on Highway 200 Melaque - Puerto Vallarta at kilometer 53.

There are several beaches in the Careyes Bay. Teopa Beach is the largest and includes a sea turtle preservation sanctuary.[1]

The community was founded in 1968 by Gian Franco Brignone[2] as his private estate. The castles, villas, casitas, bungalows and restaurants that comprise Careyes today function as a resort and have the "Careyes Style" of architecture.[3]

It hosts the annual ArteCareyes Film and Arts Festival each spring.[4]
