Spend a relaxing day at Playa Los Muertos, one of Puerto Vallarta's most popular beaches. The kids can splash in the waves while you relax under a palapa on the shore. Even indulge in delicious fresh seafood at beachfront restaurants and try some fresh coconut water from the beach vendors.
Playa Boca de Tomates is perfect for families, especially during turtle hatching season beginning in July if your children want to help in releasing baby sea turtles into the ocean, learning about marine conservation along the way. To cap off the day, an exciting pirate ship adventure awaits, where kids can revel in swashbuckling fun, games, and treasure hunts on the high seas, creating unforgettable memories in beautiful Puerto Vallarta.
