Playa Tenacatita

Fodor's Review:

Named for the bay on which it lies, Playa Tenacatita is a lovely beach of soft sand about 34 km (20 mi) north of San Patricio Melaque and 172 km (106 mi) south of Puerto Vallarta. Dozens of identical seafood shacks line the shore; birds cruise the miles of beach, searching for their own fish. Waves crash against clumps of jagged rocks at the north end of the beach, which curves gracefully around to a headland. The water is sparkling blue. There are camping for RVs and tents at Punta Hermanos, where the water is calm, and local men offer fishing excursions. Of the string of restaurants on the beach, La Fiesta Mexicana is especially recommended.
