Playa de Oro https://www.puertovallarta.net/espanol/que-hacer/playa-de-oro-en-la-zona-hotelera-de-puerto-vallarta/ se encuentra en el norte de Zona Hotelera de Puerto Vallarta, que es el área entre Marina Vallarta y el centro de Puerto Vallarta.

Es la playa más septentrional de la zona hotelera, y cuenta con tres puntos de fácil acceso público dentro de sus 1060 m de longitud. Playa de Oro es de suave arena dorada y aguas transparentes, lo que la convierte en una excelente opción para quienes disfrutan de un paseo por la orilla seguido de un chapuzón en el agua. Además, es una playa certificada con Bandera Azul, lo que significa que tiene aguas limpias y arenas claras, oleaje suave y sigue una serie de requisitos que garantizan el bienestar y el disfrute de los visitantes al mismo tiempo que protegen el medio ambiente.

La playa es bastante ancha, y hay mucho espacio para practicar deportes de playa como voleibol y fútbol. También se puede practicar natación, kayak, windsurf, esquí acuático, moto acuática, pesca, avistamiento de ballenas y parasailing.

En temporada alta (de diciembre a abril) la playa puede estar abarrotada, por lo que los visitantes que busquen un lugar tranquilo y relajante quizá deban considerar otras opciones. Playa de Oro se encuentra entre la zona portuaria de Puerto Vallarta (API) y la playa de Los Tules (al sur del río Pitillal).

Playa de Oro Beach https://www.puertovallarta.net/what_to_do/playa-de-oro-beach-puerto-vallarta/ is located in the northern Puerto Vallarta Hotel Zone, which is the area between Marina Vallarta and downtown Puerto Vallarta.

It is the northernmost beach of the hotel zone, and it has three easy public access points within its 3470 ft (1060 m) long beach. Playa de Oro Beach has soft golden sand and clear waters, making it an excellent option for those who enjoy a walk along the shore followed by a dip in the water. It is also a certified Blue Flag beach, which means it has clean waters and clear sands, soft waves, and follows a number of requirements that ensure visitors’ well-being and enjoyment while protecting the environment.

The beach is quite wide, and there’s plenty of space for beach sports like volleyball and football. Visitors can also enjoy swimming, kayaking, windsurfing, water skiing, jet-skiing, fishing, whale watching, and parasailing.

During high season (December to April), the beach can be crowded, so visitors looking for a quiet and relaxing place may need to consider other options. Playa de Oro Beach is located between the Puerto Vallarta harbor area (API) and Los Tules Beach (South of the Pitillal River).

I hope you enjoy this full tour & review of my stay at the RIU Palace Pacifico in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. This all-inclusive resort is adults only and recently underwent a full renovation in December 2023, so everything is new and updated!
