Outside the cities, stunning Pacific beaches, stark deserts, mangrove swamps and swimming holes provide all you need for a relaxing, romantic or adventurous vacation. Captivating, cosmopolitan and chaotic Mexico City and the 32 states offer an incredible abundance of experiences, from laid-back and leisurely to upbeat to adrenalin-charging.

What a magical place this is. The Grey Whales were plentiful and friendly. We went with Malarrimo whale watching and our captain, Samuel, seemed to be a magnet for the whales! What a wonderful experience!

Seaside promenade featuring outdoor eateries and beautiful cobblestone streets.

This superb waterfront walkway runs from Playa Principal to Playa Madiera. The City has done a complete rebuild, and it is now complete! Smooth surface, benches, rest spots, solar powered lighting ... just a real asset!

What a great addition to the waterfront! This beautiful pier allows one to quicky walk out and get great views along the beach, while at the same time being quite beautiful to look at (especially at night when lit up with beautiful lights!).

Las Escolleras

Reviewed By javierdelmoral - Guadalajara, Mexico

Great for walking or biking and having sea and birds at both sides while lot of raccoons crossing the road. Bikes are special and for rental because sit 4-5 persons. It is like 1 mile walk each way and lighthouse is at the end. It is right at Miramar beach.

Marina Nuevo Vallarta

Set in the heart of Nuevo Vallarta, Nayarit. Marina Nuevo Vallarta has rapidly gained a reputation as one of the renowned private marina of the region. Located few minutes away from Puerto Vallarta and the International Airport.

Reviewed By AZCoachJ - Prescott, United States

Very convenient to most resorts located south of the Marina and North of the River. An evening walk of the beach adds to the experience. The Marina is home to many nice restaurants and little shops. Most restaurants were taking cash only, preferring Pesos. Additionally, the restaurants have added additional outdoor seating to accommodate COVID protocols. A unique experience.

Reviewed By Gizmo1960 - Grand Forks, Canada

I had the pleasure of staying in Progreso at a bed and breakfast just off of the Malecon. The people of Progreso and their new mayor have done a fantastic job of building up the area with artists displays everywhere, live music on the weekends and lots of vendors around selling food and other fun stuff! Everyone I met was friendly and the streets in this community are exceptionally clean. Great place to visit!
