You can swim, rent a chair and umbrella, or take to the water for activities such as paddleboarding, parasailing and jet skiing.

A beach for swimming and water activities
Playa Los Muertos is in Puerto Vallarta’s Romantic Zone, on the city’s south side. Its thick golden sand is lined with places to eat, and the water draws people in for swimming. Paddleboarding, parasailing and jet skiing are among the activities available here. Banana boat rides are another option, particularly for families with older children.
You can rent chairs and umbrellas for a beach day. Beach clubs provide another way to settle in, but check their prices before you choose one. Some areas allow you to bring your own snacks and drinks.
Food and the waterfront
Food is part of the beach visit: vendors and stalls sell snacks and drinks, while restaurants set tables and chairs directly on the sand. Fried fish is among the beach dishes served here. Los Muertos Beach Restaurant is known for dining by the water; make a reservation in advance if you plan to eat there.
The beach is popular with locals and tourists, and it is also among Puerto Vallarta’s gay-friendly beaches. Weekends and holidays tend to be busier, so a weekday visit can mean more room on the sand.
