Front of the Pacific Ocean and below the cosmopolitan buildings of "Peninsula" you will find one of the most instagrammable spots in Vallarta. In the club you will find yacht service, urban gastronomy, luxurious cabanas, irreverent party concepts n' the newest music that will explode your senses.

If you are looking for isolation, try this beach to the south of Puerto Vallarta, only accessible by boat.
Reviewed By expat326 - San Francisco, United States
Busy beach at spring break. Like other travelers, a short water taxi ride or you can make solo arrangements with one of the boat operators at Boca de Tomitlan. We stopped first at Colomitos but it was really crowded. Next time I would opt for one of the other small beaches nearby, I think Madagascar. Not much shade but enjoyed our swim at Colomitos. Our boat operator returned for us and took us to Las Animas. We really enjoyed our lunch at El Caracol restaurant. There are many places to choose from, but our waiters were really friendly and took good care of us. Compared to Mismaloya or Boca, the food here tasted super fresh, was served hot, nicely seasoned rice and beans and salad as accompaniments to our fish and shrimp dishes. Also the pollo a la plancha was very good and not over-cooked. We were going fishing the next day and hoped to come back and have our fresh catch cooked for as as we saw at one table. But our catch the following day was too small.

"Deadmen's Beach," named for legendary pirate raids on the nearby village, is one of the most-frequented beaches in Puerto Vallarta.
Reviewed By lorriebrooks3
The Playa Los Muertos extends to either side of the downtown pier and extends towards the Rui Cuale. This very sandy beach boasts moderately high waves to play in, beach chairs to sit and sip at, and a variety of activities including paddle boarding, kayaking, para-sailing, and, of course shopping from the beach vendors. A perfect space to spend a relaxing day before heading out for the local night life:)

Remote beach accessible only by boat, this is the perfect place to get away from it all.

A stop at Majahuitas Beach was included on a Vallarta Adventure excursion we were on, and it was enjoyable. If you're looking for clean white sand, you're on the wrong side of Mexico. The beach here has a gravelly texture, but it is in a beautiful setting. There was an open bar, a volleyball net, ample beach bags to lounge on, kayaks, paddle boards, and great scenery. The crew will do their best to insure you have a great time, as always. Our crew put on a show on the way back to port which included the "Mexican Rolling Stones" and a breakdancing exhibition. Enjoy the activities and the view while you're here. You won't find them back home.

Great place for snorkeling south of the city.
Reviewed By RuRuRoams - Meredith, United States
the hike is fun and easy. you trek through the village, across a stream (horses are hanging out and there is a bridge...but the stream is shallow, so enjoy the adventure) and then start following the crevasse like trail to the waterfall. it's a trail that's been carved by horses and mules, so there's quite a bit of horse poop...but that's how you know you're on the right track? :) the reward, at the end, is an idyllic quiet stream beneath a lovely, accessible waterfall with a very cold pool to swim in. there's a little restaurant there with some nice pina coladas and a little shop. you can swim, cool down, and hang out before you trek back down to the beach.

This large zoo contains over 2,000 animals and is located in a beautiful ravine.
Reviewed By 291genej - Silver Spring, United States
This Friday morning we took a US$4 UBER 11 km northeast from our Hotel NH Collection Guadalajara, arriving at 9:15 AM. After temperature check, hand sanitizer and paying the $8 senior rate for 2, we followed the zoo workers for the 200+ meter entryway to the Flamingo Pool. From here, we began a long shaded descent passing grass/pool/bird enclosures to the end of the valley, then returned on the other side, climbing back up. The 1 square mile property is well maintained, the animals we saw were in good condition in large enclosures, and there were ample clean restrooms spaced nicely throughout. Visitors spread out over many optional activities to suit their physical abilities and/or interests to include the Aquarium, Gondola, Safari Ride, Petting Park, Farm Animals, Picnicking, Shows and more. We enjoyed our 3 hour stroll seeing the active animals as well as the numerous well mannered masked families. This was a peaceful relaxing experience.

We have stayed at the St. Regis in Punta De Mita several times and just loved this little area. The beach area is stunning and especially beautiful. The little town has a few restaurants and our favorite is the Blue Shrimp. It is about a 45 minute car ride to get there from the airport.
