Bay stretches for over 40 miles and its not surprising that Puerto
Vallarta has beaches everywhere. It ranges from lively shores
at the seaside resorts to isolated patches surmounted by cliffs.
Playa Los Arcos is a stony
beach with a wonderful view of the caves and rock formations of
Los Arcos. Bucerias is a long stretch of sand for sunbathing and
strolling. North of Puerto Vallarta along the southern coast of
Nayarit State is a string of beautiful, unpopulated beach areas.
Lo de Marcos, Sayulita, Nuevo Vallarta are a few.
Playa
Los Muertos is the most popular and busiest beach in town. The
beach is close to downtown and is lined with several restaurants.
Playa Los Camarones is slightly away from downtown
and the noise and bustle of the resort hotels. A great place to
relax and unwind after a hectic day of sightseeing or shopping.
Please note

Playa
Norte beach has a busy shore. Several kinds of sporting activities
and locals hawking silver and handicrafts add to the bustle.
Boca De Tomatlan is a small and calm beach by
the side of a fishing village. This beautiful beach has hills
and green forests in the background.
Mismaloya
beach is the site where 'Night of the Iguana' was filmed which
brought Puerto Vallarta to the limelight. Snorkeling among the
rocks along the southern edge of the cove is a wonderful experience.

white sand and beautiful mountains across the bay. Punta de Mita
is a rocky beach with excellent snorkeling and fishing facilities.
