Our primary draw for many, Puerto Vallarta has miles and miles of wide sandy playas, some boasting coves seemingly carved just for two, others quite popular with lots of palapa restaurants, amenities and services.
Destiladeras
Located 19 miles from the airport at Km 8 on Highway 200 and popular with the locals for its wide sandy beaches and with surfers for its two-to-five-foot swells.
El Anclote
"Anchor Beach" is at Km 21 on highway 200 north of PV.
Punta de Mita
Located at the northern tip of the Bahia de Banderas, 26 miles from Puerto Vallarta on the Punta Mita Highway, this once-remote beachside fishing village is now home to the Four Seasons Punta de Mita Resort.
Sayulita
22 miles north of the airport, the idyllic Sayulita beach is located in a cove where the jungle meets the sea. Perfect for surfing or sunning and everything in between. Seaside cafes and fine dining along with other services available
San Franciso / San Pancho
A sleepy little town 31 miles (49 km) north of Puerto Vallarta known for its "gnarly waves, dude." Purported by some surfers to be the best in the area due to its big open ocean beach and southwest to northwest swells
If you don’t know the steps, the rhythm will guide you. The sounds of Latin music, Mariachi, and disco will fill your nights as the city comes alive after sundown.
