👍 Es de las pocas playas públicas que ofrece Vallarta, mucho está en la compañía para poder disfrutar, es tranquilo y bastante relajante tanto en la noche como en la mañana, por las tardes sube el oleaje, pero puedes recostarte y disfrutar el atardecer, las regaderas cierran temprano, toma eso en cuen...

Amapas Beach
Beach
👍 More secluded with locals vs. tourists which gives a nice relaxing vibe. Less people trying to sell you stuff and trees with shade. If you want to swim it’s not the best as the rocks are super painful! But regardless we had a fun few hours relaxing here.

Playa Lindomar
Beach
👍👍 Beautiful rocky coves south of Puerto Vallarta main beach. A few up and down sections of about 30 steps, but easy enough to do. One swimmer just about didn't make it back to shore and had to be rescued, so not recommended for swimming.

Olas Altas Beach
Beach
🫤 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...

Playa Del Holi
Beach
😐 Best part was it was very quiet, loads of space away from noisy Mexicans. Quite scenic and certainly very wide. Water certainly isn't the best and gritty in areas. Loads of water-sports going on. Bit tricky finding the access path, ended up walking through a hotel complex. Where security act like yo...

Camarones Beach
Beach
👍 I think this is one of the better beaches in Central Puerto Vallarta, not to say it is a great beach. But... when you compare it with the crowds of the Playa los Muertos, or the rockiness of the Playa Rosita, this place looks and feels a whole lot better. Not too crowded, beach is pretty sandy, thou...

Playa de Oro
Beach
😐 Waves get super big here during the afternoon, while that is awesome, the dirty water and somewhat rocky shoreline is not. There are better beaches in Puerto Vallarta.

Playa Flamingos
Beach
👍👍 Playa con ambiente familiar. Buen lugar para ver los atardeceres. Hay mucha gente tirada en la arena, paseando a sus perros o incluso pescando. (Curiosamente es raro que la gente se meta al mar en esta playa). Cerca de ella hay un par de restaurantes que ponen música. Si no te gusta la música a todo...

👍 The beach is very clean, the water is transparent. There are a lot of stones. The water temperature is ideal to stay for a few hours. The sun very strong. There is no place to shelter nearby

👍 Pues literal, es tranquila, pero dificil estar tranquilo en el agua dado el exceso de rocas que traen las olas y con ellas, golpes en las piernas y abdomen

😠 I’m pretty sure it’s illegal for Hyatt to block access to the beach. You are not allowed to have private beaches in puerto Vallarta
