Los Muertos Beach, Beach in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Los Muertos Beach is a sandy stretch along Puerto Vallarta's coastline, positioned near the Romantic Zone neighborhood where visitors can swim and relax. The beach features a modern pier where water taxis and boat tours depart to reach other coastal locations.
The name comes from a cemetery that once stood near this location, marking the area before tourism arrived. Over time the beachfront developed into a popular destination while keeping its original name from that earlier period.
Local fishermen continue their trade here, bringing boats to shore with daily catches that supply nearby restaurants and vendors. Their presence shapes the character of the beach and connects visitors to the area's working traditions.
The water here is typically calm and safe for swimming, with gentle entry from the sand. The beach is easy to walk along and suits visitors looking for a relaxed day in the water and on the shore.
In the evenings the beach becomes a social gathering place with tables set directly on the sand for dining and socializing. This daytime-to-evening shift creates an unusual dynamic where the same space serves completely different purposes throughout the day.
