What Can I Do In PVR?
Marina Vallarta
You can walk to the Marina from the Marriott; there are restaurants, shops, etc.
Malecon Puerto Vallarta
The Malecon is their boardwalk about 15-20 minutes south and has restaurants, shops, clubs and some performers. South of the Malecon is the Viejo Vallarta; there are other things to check out around the Malecon as well.
Boca de Tomatlan
This is a small river inlet about an hour south of the Marina. There are a few restaurants on the sand, and you can catch water taxis to some of the secluded coves from there. Transportation back can be tough so plan accordingly. Boca is fantastic and a slice of local life.
San Francisco, Nayarit
San Pancho, as it's known, is Anna's favorite place in the greater area. It's north of Vallarta and has beautiful beaches.
Tacón de Marlin
A delicious tacos spot on the street that serves marlin tacos.
Golf course
For those that want to hit the links, this is literally a few blocks from the Marriott.
Yelapa Beach
You can take a water taxi here from the Vallarta Downtown Pier or from Boca de Tomatlan; it's only accessible by boat and has limited boats, but Nick loves it there! A semi-remote cove south of Vallarta
