The legendary Tail of the Whale at Punta Mita’s Pacifico Golf Course is more than just a golf hole—it’s a world-renowned marvel designed by the great Jack Nicklaus, and home to the only natural island green on the planet. Officially named Hole 3B, this unforgettable par-3 extends dramatically into the Pacific Ocean, its shape resembling the tail of a whale. Depending on the tide and pin placement, players face a thrilling tee shot over open water, making every swing a memorable challenge.

What truly sets this hole apart is its ever-changing access. At low tide, a hidden stone pathway appears, allowing golfers to walk or drive across to the green. When the tide rises, an amphibious golf cart transports players, turning an already extraordinary hole into a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Surrounded by ocean spray and sweeping views, it’s no wonder this iconic hole draws both avid golfers and curious visitors eager to witness its raw beauty.
