If you are looking for isolation, try this beach to the south of Puerto Vallarta, only accessible by boat.

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.

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.

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.

Walked into town from my hotel to the south. We found many interesting shops, the kissing bridge and then into town square. Found many nice shops and a couple of cafes to cool our thirst. A wonderful place to visit for a couple of hours or perhaps a week.
