Playa Las Ánimas, Pacific beach in Jalisco, Mexico.
Located along the Pacific coast, Playa Las Ánimas features golden sand beaches bordered by Sierra Madre mountains and crystal waters suitable for swimming.
The beach has served as a vital connection point between coastal communities in Jalisco since the early days of maritime trade along Mexico's Pacific shore.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing methods at Playa Las Ánimas, supplying fresh catches to beachfront restaurants that prepare regional Mexican dishes.
Visitors can reach Playa Las Ánimas via water taxis departing from Puerto Vallarta's Los Muertos pier or through a coastal hiking trail from Boca de Tomatlán.
The beach combines three distinct ecosystems: ocean waters rich in marine life, tropical jungle slopes, and coastal sand formations in one contained area.

These Mexican beaches provide natural settings away from tourist spots. From protected coves in Quintana Roo to sandy shores in Baja California Sur, you will find clear waters and native marine life. Many locations are accessible only by boat or sit near small fishing villages.
