If you love long walks on the beach, then the Malecon Boardwalk is perfect for you! The Malecon is a popular area to visit in Puerto Vallarta due to the abundance of beach-side restaurants, bars, live music, souvenir stores, markets, art, and beautiful views of the Bay of Banderas. The Malecon Boardwalk is a 10-15 minute Uber/taxi from the Hilton resort.
Take a sunset cruise through the Bay of Banderas in which you can take in a different view of Puerto Vallarta, enjoy an open bar, appetizers and/or dinner, and music. There are multiple sunset cruises to book. The most popular dinner cruise is called "Alma, Rhythms of the Night" which will bring you across the Bay to Las Caletas beach, in which you will enjoy a candlelit dinner, open bar, live music, and the Rhythms of the Night live show. Link to book Alma, Rhythms of the Night is included below.
Explore the coastal towns of Sayulita and/or Punta Mita on the north end of the Banderas Bay! Whether you take a day trip (about 1.5 hours north of Zona Romantic, where the Hilton resort is located), or split your trip between PV and Sayulita/Punta Mita, you will not regret visiting this part of the Nayarit region.
