Puerto Vallarta Beaches

Lined with resort hotels, this gorgeous, wide sandy beach hugs Nuevo Vallarta for as far as the eye can see, and is a beautiful spot to soak up the sun, swim, and relax. The area also offers three professional golf courses, a water park, a yacht club, marinas, shopping, and many restaurants.

Lined with resorts, this beautiful, wide sandy beach stretching from Marina Vallarta to the beginning of downtown is a tourist playground packed with beach-front bar, restaurant, and entertainment venue. It offers every amenity and water sport - from parasailing to whale watching.  

Golden sands stretch for miles and gentle waves make this an ideal family beach with oceanfront palapa restaurants and a charming small town to explore. Boasting the longest beach on the bay, "The Place of the Divers" is known for its freshly shucked giant oysters and sublime seafood. 

Gorgeous, windswept, long, and primitive with deep creamy sand and rougher waters than inside the bay, this pristine beach attracts outdoor enthusiasts from around the world, offering activities like surfing, kayaking, sport fishing, horseback riding and more.

A surfing Mecca of international renown, the shoreline of this picturesque village is dotted with coves and beaches where surfers hang ten. Riding the gentle breakers to shore, most of the action happens off the main town beach, with lessons and board rentals available.

A hidden gem of a small beach town, this quaint bay village is a unique place to soak in the sun, swim in majestic waterfalls, and ride horses and burros through the scenic jungle. Hop on a water taxi from the Los Muertos Pier to arrive at Yelapa.
