It’s safe to say that the Pacific Coast is the lesser-known of Mexico’s two coasts but that doesn’t mean it’s any less wonderful. The Pacific Coast is where Mexico beach tourism really began – visits from Hollywood stars Ava Gardner and Richard Burton helped to put the area firmly on the map.
The coastline is home to 800km of sugar-white beaches, Banderas Bay is one of the most popular areas, being home to the larger resorts of Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Vallarta, where a wide variety of family-friendly attractions can be found. North of Puerto Vallarta is the blissful resort of Punta Mita, a celebrity-favourite. This is the ultimate destination for those in search of a luxury break.
