Sometimes overlooked when thinking of a Mexico vacation, the Pacific Coast offers beautiful cities with a variety of vacation options.

PUERTO VALLARTA is located on the Bay of Banderas, the second largest bay in the Americas, and offers calm waters and tropical beaches. Along the north shore, El Anclote is a popular beach close to the northern Pacific entrance while La Cruz de Huanacaxtle is closer to the center of the bay. Between Puerto Vallarta and the south shore, Los Muertos Beach is a lively public beach and home to the city’s original pier. Mismaloya and Boca de Tomatlan are also popular and located south of Vallarta. Fishing, tennis, golf and shopping are some of the other attractions that can be found in Puerto Vallarta, one of Mexico’s hottest spots on the tourist map.

IXTAPA-ZIHUATANEJO are two celebrated fishing villages often mentioned together because of their close proximity, though each has its own identity. Modern Ixtapa offers world-class resorts and amenities while Zihuatanejo is more laid back, with cobblestone streets and small cafes. What neither lack are tremendous beaches where tourist and locals alike enjoy a day under the sun. Beaches like Bahia del Palmar, Playa Quieta, La Ropa and Las Gatas all offer something unique, different and worth exploring.

ACAPULCO is renowned for its beaches, bays and resorts that pepper this legendary Pacific coast town. With more than 20 beaches concentrated in this one area alone, finding some space on the sand is definitely not an issue. Visitors will certainly want to check out beaches such as Icacos, El Morro, La Condesa and El Revolcadero. Acapulco is a city that has always been popular with the jet set, but with a range of accommodation options it offers everyone an array of attractions, dining and nightlife like no other.
