PUERTO VALLARTA BEACHES

    There are distinctly different beach zones with more than forty individual beaches making Puerto Vallarta a favorite destination for the beach lover. The first zone is north of Puerto Vallarta. This is where Playa de Oro and the Marina district are. The Playa de Oro is a wide, sandy beach with a few rocky areas interspersed. It is also very popular with guests and locals alike, because of its water sports. Even further north, the beaches of Banderas Bay are pristine and quiet. The northern beaches have much stronger surf, so if you are into surfing and windsurfing this is the place.

Puerto Vallarta's most popular beach, Playa de los Muertos, is located just south of the malecon and the River Cuale. This beach is surrounded by Old Town, with its many varieties of restaurants and shops. It is lined with beachfront hotels and restaurants. A perfect spot to catch some rays during the day and an even better spot to have a sunset drink while watching the colorful Vallarta skies.
