Best places: Public beaches in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

12-block promenade offering ocean views & sculptures, plus restaurants, bars, galleries & shops.

Large ocean pier boasting a sleek, contemporary design & picturesque coastline views.

This bustling stretch of scenic shoreline features lodging & waterfront eateries with umbrellas.

👍👍 If you come from a cruise ship, as we did, just walk about 20-30 mins down the beach and rent chairs and an umbrella from a local. We paid $15 for 4 chairs and an umbrella for a great afternoon. If you walk past several of the inclusive resorts you will come to a bend and a small river. You can buy...

Laid-back sand & pebble beach with a local vibe, popular with walkers & sunset watchers.

👍 Ok
