El Salado

Fodor's Review:

At Marina Vallarta, Playa El Salado -- facing the Grand Velas, Meliá, Marriott, Mayan Palace, and the Westin -- is pleasantly sandy. Colorful in high season with parasailers and with windsurfers rented or lent at area hotels, these beaches are actually more fun when crowded than when solitary. During fine weather and on weekends, and daily during high season, you can rent Jet Skis and pack onto colorful banana boats for bouncy tours of 10 minutes or longer. Some hotels rent small sailboats, sailboards, and sea kayaks to guests and to nonguests.
