Cute little beach cove. Lots of locals come here (always a good sign). We hiked here from Boca, took us about 35 mins, and we hiked back as well. The hike is not too strenuous, but there are some up and downs. No need for serious hiking shoes, but don't hike this in sandals (I did it comfortably in my Vans). Boats are coming in and out at the beach quite a bit - water taxis from Boca, but also party boats and snorkelling tours. This makes snorkeling/swimming a bit tougher with all the traffic. Takeaway: this beach is popular, so don't believe the hype that you can get a little undiscovered beach all to yourself... Nope, everyone knows about this place and is chasing the same thing. You will literally get more space to yourself on the beach along resort row in PV. None the less, it's the journey not the destination. Nice day of hiking. Cute little beach. There's a quaint little restaurant/bar there (not cheap though). Not a terrible way to...
Read moreLovely little beach that wasn't particularly crowded when we visited on a Sunday afternoon - probably only a maximum of about 30 others on the beach when we were there. Sea was calm, clear and had lots of nice fish in. There's a restaurant there and also an additional more rough and ready bar which only sold beer and coconuts (not any water).
We walked from Boca which was a surprisingly tough walk - definitely take lots of water! That took about 40 minutes. Going back to Puerto Vallarta, I think we paid way more than we should have done for a water taxi at 1000 pesos for two people. But there didn't seem to be many taxis arriving or departing and it was getting quite late so went for it anyway. His original price was 2000 pesos so at least we got it down! We were the only ones in the taxi back and it was a pleasant journey so I didn't mind too much. That water taxi back took about 30 mins to the...
Read moreWe paid to take a water taxi here ($30 round trip) specifically because all the pictures and articles/reviews indicated that the water was super calm and clear and that it was fairly unpopulated, but when we went it was decently crowded and the waves were pretty big. I think we were just there at the wrong time of year/lunar cycle or something. The water was more brown and rough, and it wasn't super conducive to swimming or relaxing.
It was fun to climb the rocks and explore, and there were little fish and crabs and barnacles to look at along the sides of the beach.
There's a restaurant that offers food and drinks and wifi. Not sure about the quality or prices as we didn't order anything. It's fairly secluded, so there is almost no cell reception. Most of the time, my phone said that it could only make...
