Underwhelming, rocky beach with misleading reviews. Those who enjoy the walk should rate the Malecon instead. Beach review: it is average at best. Entrance is rocky and past that it’s too deep enjoy, approximately where the waves crash. Neither adults nor children felt comfortable in the water. It is much better and cleaner south of the pier. If you have kids, go south. Anyone who is well travelled will be disappointed. EDIT: we returned two days later, following a day of rain, and the water was brown. Following a walk on the malecon, I found the source of the problem - a brown river that runs into the ocean.

Olas Atlas beach is a nice beach for a number of reasons. I think it's best to just look at what the locals use the beach for.... fishing, playing in the river, volleyball, watching turtles come to lay their eggs here and...they really do. What it's not great for is swimming. Go down to the pier to do that. The locals are super cool. Always wear water shoes if you are wading around.

The best thing about Olas Altas beach is that everything you will need is right there, or can be brought to you. Concierge Vallarta recommends this Puerto Vallarta Beach to Vallarta Visitors.

Another great beach day. It's hard not to find a cool beach here.

Horrible tourist trap where you are constantly harassed by vendors of anything from tourist rides to drugs, and they just don't leave alone. Do not talk to them, do not give them business.

Agree with Natasha, in the summer/rainy season the water is murky. Even though it’s hot I can’t be bothered to go in

Amazing beach

Great beach area. Lots of vendors trying to sell you things, but still pleasant. This seems like the central part of Puerto Vallarta. Great for a walk as well. Plenty of restaurants.

Getting ready to go in the sky

Loved it

A beautiful place, my friends and I loved the visit we made to this place, really worth it.

Yass!

(Translated by Google) An amazing experience to see the waves so high and see the force of mother nature, when the water is calm it is perfect for taking pictures. I liked it a lot. (Original) Una experiencia sorprendente ver las olas tan altas y ver la fuerza de la madre naturaleza, cuando el agua está tranquila es perfecto para tomarse fotografías me gusto mucho.

(Translated by Google) Very nice the sea seems like a pool attached to the pier the sail (Original) Muy agradable el mar parece como alberca pegado a el embarcadero la vela
