Mismaloya Jalisco Mexico https://www.puertovallarta.net/what_to_do/mismaloya is a small town, best known for its beach, located 20 minutes south of Puerto Vallarta, along the road that goes south to Costa Careyes (Highway 200/Carretera 200) that runs between the town and the beach, next to Barceló Resort that used to be called “La Jolla de Mismaloya.”
In order to go into the village itself, across the road opposite the Barceló you’ll find the entrance. There you will find some options for activities and visits that are highly recommended. In fact, some are among the best things to do in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
On the beach, you have the option of swimming, sunbathing, strolling along the beach and enjoying various activities. There are, for example, several restaurants that offer good seafood and fish dishes, they also share their beach chairs and parasols if you eat and drink with them. There are several massage spots that will help you de-stress. Stand-up Paddle Zone is a tour operator that provides stand-up paddle (SUP) rentals, boards and paddles for use in the bay, and a tour that takes you to Los Arcos, natural rock islands visible from the beach, to see the fish, and other impressive natural attractions.
Mismaloya, Mexico, one of the best beaches in Puerto Vallarta, is very nice with soft waves, very clean green-emerald waters, and golden sands of intermediate grain, not very soft, but not as rough as what you find in Yelapa. You will find yourself cleaning your swimsuit from time to time, though.
There are a considerable number of boats that are in the hands of local fishermen, some of them offer tours and transfers to the various attractions of the Banderas Bay, including Los Arcos de Mismaloya, Boca de Tomatlan, Colomitos Beach, Las Animas Beach, Quimixto, Majahuitas Beach, Yelapa, and other beautiful locations to the south of the bay.
In addition to Mismaloya Beach, Puerto Vallarta, it is also one that has a lot of history. In the 60’s it could only be reached by sea, something like Las Ánimas or Yelapa nowadays. At that time, the famous film director, John Huston, decided that the hill that delimits the beach to the south and the beach itself would be part of the set for the film “The Night of the Iguana.” He brought great movie personalities to Puerto Vallarta.
