Las Amapas Beach, Beach in Zona Romántica, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Las Amapas Beach sits in a small cove at Puerto Vallarta's southern edge with green water and golden sand. Tall trees line the shoreline and provide natural shelter.
The name comes from native Amapas trees that have shaded this coast for many generations. These trees have defined the area's appearance for a long time.
Local fishermen work daily at this cove, selling their catch directly to visitors. Their presence shapes the rhythm and character of the place.
Visitors reach this beach by climbing stone steps down from Los Muertos Beach, passing by the El Pulpito rock formation. The descent to the water is straightforward.
Low tide reveals natural pools between the rocks, showing small ecosystems filled with colorful fish and marine creatures. This hidden world only appears at certain times.
