Playa Olas Altas
Beaches, Downtown Puerto Vallarta
Fodor's Review:
Playa Olas Altas means High Waves Beach, but the only waves suitable for body surfing or boogie boarding are near the Cuale River, at the north end of this small beach. Although Olas Altas more often refers to the neighborhood of bars and businesses near the ocean south of the Río Cuale, it is also the name of a few blocks of sand between Daiquiri Dick's restaurant and the Río Cuale. It attracts fewer families than Los Muertos, but is otherwise an extension of that beach. Facing Olas Altas Beach near leafy Lázaro Cárdenas Plaza are open-air stands selling beach accessories, small grocery stores, and easy access to beach-facing bars and restaurants.
