Fodor's Expert Review Playa Yelapa
Southern Banderas Bay
Beach
The beach slopes down to the water, and small waves break right on the shore. In high season and during holidays, there are water-sports outfitters. From here you can hike 20 minutes into the jungle to see the small Cascada Cola de Caballo (Horse Tail Waterfall), with a pool at its base for swimming. Amenities: food and drink; water sports. Best for: swimming; walking.
