Puerto Vallarta

• Los Arcos National Marine Park is an incredible marine park located between Las Gemelas Beach and Mismaloya Beach where you will find amazing adventure and awe-inspiring views. 
• Playa de Oro - a local and visitor favorite, Playa de Oro is located north of the city and is as safe and clean as it is beautiful and relaxing. It is bordered by gorgeous rocky configurations that help give the location a charming and interesting touch.
• Vista Vallarta – this Jack Nicklaus and Tom Weiskof signature design is comprised of two, 18-hole championship courses that sit at the highest elevation of all three courses in Puerto Vallarta. The 2 courses are known for their breathtaking ocean views, grassy hillsides, dense forests of palm trees and natural creeks, as well as their world-class golf course reputation.
• The main downtown shopping area is located on Libertad and Malecon streets and along Juárez and Morelos streets. One block behind the Malecon you will find antique stores and art gallery district along Morelos Street, if you are looking for upscale shops, head to Plaza Marina, Plaza Neptuno, Plaza Caracol, and Paradise Village – all of which are packed with specialty stores selling clothing, jewelry, original art, and home decor.
  
• Prefer dancing the night away? You’ll enjoy staying up until the early morning with friends in one of the many nightclubs along the Malecon.
  

“Puerta Vallarta is really well known for its great food. In November, there’s a gourmet festival and there are a couple of other big events throughout the year. There are a lot of street food stands too. People get really excited about this little funky hole-in-the-wall place called El Tacon de Marlin. They do these shrimp burritos with amazing green salsa.

Yelapa is a little village to the south of town that you can only get to by boat – and there are a few that go there every day. People who come from an urban setting really love it there. There are no real roads, nobody has a vehicle, and you just walk from place to place. There are a bunch of trails and plenty of daytime restaurants.

There are many small beaches south of Puerta Vallarta, besides Yelapa, which you can also only reach by boat. So, it’s really great to rent a boat, do a day cruise, stay close to the coast, do some snorkeling, and stop at one of the beaches. A lot of them have day-time restaurants, so you can grab lunch and, of course, a cocktail.”  ―Sue, Puerto Vallarta & Punta Mita Villa Rental Specialist
