Things to do near Puerto Vallarta

These are just a few of the more popular tourist attractions in Puerto Vallarta along with a brief description:

♦ Malecon Puerto Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta’s Malecon is one of the most popular attractions in the city. This 12-block long esplanade features everything from statues, storefronts, street artists, restaurants, bars, and more, making it one of the liveliest spots in town. As you explore this boardwalk-style area, you can revel in the many local sights, sounds, smells, and tastes, truly immersing all of your senses into local lifestyle! It’s also a great place to shop for souvenirs or take some social media-worthy photos!

♦ Los Muertos Beach

Los Muertos Beach is one of the most popular beaches in Puerto Vallarta. Just south of the Malecon, this beach is a favorite spot among locals and travelers alike. Its main highlight is the Los Muertos Pier, which is uniquely shaped like a sail and lights up at night. This beach is perfect for swimming, parasailing, or taking a water taxi from the pier. There are also many delicious restaurants, cafes, and bars nearby, so you don’t need to wander far to quench your hunger or thirst. In fact, if you’re looking for a place to enjoy a romantic dinner and stroll along the water, Los Muertos Beach falls right in Puerto Vallarta’s “Romantic Zone.”!

♦ Marietas Islands

For a truly spectacular remote island experience, consider planning a day trip to Marietas Islands, located off the coast of Puerto Vallarta. After taking a quick boat ride to this inhabited territory, you can snorkel in pristine waters, watch blue footed boobies in their natural habitat, and explore Hidden Beach, accessible via swimming and cave. Some tour operators even offer diving excursions off Marietas Islands. Due to government regulations, only a certain number of visitors are allowed on the island per day, so this experience is truly personal and private! As such, if you plan to visit Marietas Islands, you might consider planning in advance to make sure you can reserve a spot!
