Yelapa: Mexico's Most Charming Seaside Village 🤩🌊

Nestled between lush mountains and the sparkling sea at the southern tip of Bahía de Banderas, Yelapa is a hidden gem accessible only by boat—keeping its pristine beauty and tranquil vibe untouched. No roads, no cars, just pure magic! 🚤✨ You can reach it by a 45-minute boat ride from Puerto Vallarta or Boca de Tomatlán (we took the Vallarta route). With just 1,500 residents, Yelapa thrives on fishing and tourism. The moment you step off the boat, you’re greeted by salty ocean breezes, vibrant Mexican colors, and the laid-back charm of coastal life. Strolling through its winding paths (all cobblestone—flat ground is a myth here! 🏞️), you’ll notice the village’s terraced beauty. The only "vehicles" around are quirky motorized trikes (see photo!)—mostly used for hauling goods. #MexicoTravel #HiddenParadise #BeachVibes #NoCarNoProblem
