You can watch the whole city from here and have an amazing view of Banderas Bay. Prepare to have the workout of your life. There is a lift that doesn't work so there is like a thousand steps to get to the top but the view is totally worth it.

The Lighthouse, or beacon used in conjunction with the Vallarta Malecon Lighthouse/Beacon. It was no longer useful when the harbor was built. The place is great for photography or enjoying the panoramic view of the town.
