Playa Los Muertos
Vacationers that decide to visit Puerto Vallarta have to take time to get to know the city’s main beach which is called Playa Los Muertos. This popular beach is located close to the iconic Malecon boardwalk. From there, it’s quick and easy to check out Old Town Vallarta’s popular restaurants, shops and art galleries, too. Right on the beach, vacationers will love the nice variety of restaurants that have both indoor and outdoor seating including comfy chaise loungers right on the sand. You can satisfy any craving as there are upscale and casual options available. In addition, travelers that want to partake in adventurous water sports can rent a jet ski or go parasailing on Playa Los Muertos. Don’t miss the beautiful Puerto Vallarta pier that is extra lovely at night when the sailboat design pier is lit up.
Playa Colomitos
Secondly, Playa Colomitos is a tiny and cute beach that is a bit off the beaten path. In fact, this petite beach can only be accessed by hiking or by water taxi. For vacationers to Puerto Vallarta, you can take a taxi, bus, or uber to the small coastal village of Boca de Tomatlan located twenty minutes south of downtown Puerto Vallarta. Once you arrive, you can either hike along the shore for about 30 minutes to reach Playa Colomitos or you can take a water taxi for about $5 or $100 pesos. Once you arrive at the beach, you will be rewarded with spectacular blue and green waters that are some of the prettiest in the entire Banderas Bay. As a result, it’s a great spot to swim and enjoy a day at the beach. If you plan ahead, make lunch reservations at the Ocean Grill restaurant next to the beach.
Conchas Chinas
If you stay at Garza Blanca Resort, Conchas Chinas beach is a great spot to visit that is located close by. It’s an ideal spot to spend a quiet and peaceful day enjoying Mexico’s warm sun. Named for “conchas chinas”, or “tiny seashells,” Conchas Chinas beach has some of the clearest water in the entire Banderas Bay. Located just a few minutes north of the Garza Blanca Resort, the breathtaking turquoise color water is beautiful and the sand is soft and white. As a result, the beach is a perfect place to go swimming but make sure to be aware of undercurrents and strong tides that can occur from time to time. In addition, if you are little ones with you, children will adore exploring the shallow tide pools that are located on the southern end of the beach.
Punta Mita
Punta Mita is another of the best beaches to visit in Banderas Bay that is found in the neighboring state of Riviera Nayarit. You may have heard that Punta Mita has some of the most high-end resorts and luxury properties in Mexico. While the high-end resorts have private beaches, the public beach is spectacular as well. The calm waters are ideal for paddleboarding and swimming and there are tons of great Mexican and seafood restaurants there, too.
Boca de Tomates
If you want an authentic Mexican beach experience, check out Boca de Tomates which is a few miles north of the Puerto Vallarta Airport. To reach the beach, you will drive down a bumpy dirt road and pass through a crocodile habitat. The swampy area along the way is where crocodiles make their home in the Bay. Make sure to use caution and always stay behind the fenced areas. Once you arrive at the black sand beach, you will be able to choose between several locally run restaurants. Grab a cold beer and relax as you enjoy a tasty lunch or dinner with the locals. Many people claim that Boca de Tomates has the best ceviche and Pescado Sarandeo in all of Banderas Bay.
