The contrasts of sea and mountains, the fresh breeze with the flavor of the sea and the whistling of the birds will only be the beginning of a fantastic day at Palmares beach.

Less than 20 minutes from Puerto Vallarta we find a place of soft sand, peaceful waves and dazzling sun. You can go by car or take the urban transport that leaves from the center of Vallarta and takes the highway mismaloya – Tomatlan mouth. On the way to Palmares beach you will be able to appreciate the wonders of the bay.

Keep in mind that there are no restaurants or bars in this area, so pack enough water and snacks for the day. Although you can find the heroes in white, that's right, the beach vendors. They always fulfill our capricious whims. Either with some potatoes and a lot of sauce, fresh fruit or fish and shrimp that give off their roasted smell for several meters. But not everything is about eating, there are the vendors who captivate us with the colors of the beautiful pareos or the delicacy of the pieces of gold and silver jewelry with precious stones.

When you have satisfied your appetite, the adventure and fun activities begin.

When you already have a full belly and a happy heart, you can venture to do some of the many activities that Playa Palmares offers you. The bravest decide to challenge the waves riding the long “Bananas”. Those who have the soul of an artist or sculptor deep down can unleash their talents by performing their works in the sand. The little ones are not far behind in the fun and take advantage of the rocky shapes to live unique stories of their imagination. But if your thing is simply resting your food, you can always throw yourself on your towel on the sand and perfect your tan. Playa Palmares is simply a place where the fauna and flora create a unique atmosphere worthy of care and respect.

The main items for your getaway to Palmares beach are: sunglasses, sunscreen, towel, sandals, and a good umbrella.

Whether it's a family trip or a getaway with friends, you shouldn't forget your sunglasses, a good sunscreen, a towel, sandals, and even better, an umbrella. These elements will put together your perfect kit for your day of relaxation. Fortunately, the area has privileged benefits. It has public restrooms and showers for the comfort of visitors. A parking lot and pedestrian access for everyone's safety. Such is its level of quality that it even has a ramp so that people with disabilities can access with their wheelchair and enjoy the wonderful Palmares beach.

Puerto Vallarta has such a great commitment to Palmares beach that it is always constantly working to meet the 33 standards of blue flag, which represents a guarantee of cleanliness, safety, water quality and accessibility. It was the first beach to obtain it and wants to keep it that way in order to continue offering visitors the unique appeal of Playa Palmares.
