La Cruz de Huanacaxtle Marina

This modern marina may surprise visitors who arrive by land, as its modern design and large scale seems out of place. Boaters call it home for several months every winter, and it has a couple of very good restaurants.

Los Muertos Pier

Zona Romántica

There was a time when Los Muertos Pier was a sad piece of concrete extending a few meters into the sea, but that changed in 2013 when it was replaced by a beautifully designed pier that underwent years of renovations. The new pier was an instant hit and has become one of the most recognizable landmarks in Puerto Vallarta. It's perfect for a romantic walk, for reading a book while listening to the sound of the waves, and for viewing at night when it lights up the buzzing Los Muertos Beach. Oh, and it also serves as a pier! You can get a boat from here to visit the amazing beaches south of Puerto Vallarta, such as Yelapa, Quimixto, Las Animas, and many more.
