If you’re looking to combine natural beauty with a lively atmosphere, Mismaloya Beach is the ideal place to be. Located just a short bus ride from Puerto Vallarta, this beach is a popular spot for both locals and tourists.

What sets Playa Mismaloya apart is its proximity to the Los Arcos Nature Reserve, a must-see for anyone interested in snorkeling or scuba diving. You can easily catch a boat right from the beach to take you to this stunning marine park full of marine life such as sea turtles.

Mismaloya is often buzzing with activity and live music, so this isn’t the place to go if you want quiet. The beach is lined with food vendors and restaurants serving up everything from fresh seafood to classic Mexican fare.
