Camarones Beach

Playa Camarones is one of the largest and most easily accessible urban beaches in Puerto Vallarta. Its prime location makes it an ideal meeting spot, offering ample space for recreation and easy access to all city services. Beach Description Playa Camarones is a strip of golden, very wide sand, which allows for spacious enjoyment. Extensive Location: The beach begins where the Malecón (Paseo Díaz Ordaz) ends and extends northward, bordering the start of Puerto Vallarta's Hotel Zone. Atmosphere and Services: It is a beach with very easy access for pedestrians and vehicles. You will find multiple restaurants, bars, and beach clubs that offer chair rentals and service. Furthermore, there are several OXXOs on the adjacent streets, which are essential for buying cold drinks and snacks before heading to the sand. Public Services: Basic restroom facilities are available near Honduras Street, which leads directly to the beach. Pet-Friendly: It is a popular spot and ideal for walking your pets, like dogs, thanks to the wide expanse of sand. ⚠️ Important: Water Quality Unlike other beaches in the bay, Playa Camarones has been identified by COFEPRIS (Federal Commission for the Protection against Sanitary Risks) as a non-suitable or contaminated beach in their latest updates. Reason: This is due, in part, to the large amount of water and possible runoff that rivers and streams bring into the bay during the rainy season. Conclusion: For this reason, the beach currently does not hold any quality certification like the "Blue Flag." Visitors are advised to take this into account and limit direct contact activities with the water.
