Yelapa Beach, Beach in Cabo Corrientes, Mexico.
This coastal stretch features emerald waters against a backdrop of Sierra Madre mountains, with palm trees dotting the curve of golden sand.
The name Yelapa originates from Purepecha indigenous language, translating to 'the place where waters become a pond or come together'.
The local community maintains its fishing traditions while embracing international artists who have established their creative studios along the shoreline.
Visitors can reach this remote beach exclusively by water taxi from Puerto Vallarta, with boats departing regularly from Los Muertos Pier.
The beach stands out for its isolation from modern infrastructure, as the village operates with limited electricity and no road access.
