User reviews
"In the afternoon, the waves at this beach reach an impressive size, which is undeniably exciting. Nonetheless, the water is not as clear as one might hope, and the shoreline is slightly rocky, which detracts from the overall experience. For those seeking an ideal beach in Puerto Vallarta, there are undoubtedly better options available."
Kellan Aragona
"This tropical beach is quite impressive, with gentle waters and a peaceful atmosphere. However, it's important to note that calm days are few and far between, as the red and black flags are often raised to indicate dangerous conditions. Despite this, if you've specifically chosen this beach as your destination, you're sure to find plenty to enjoy here."
