Is it easy to drive around Puerto Vallarta?

Question

I'm interested in renting a car. I'll be staying at the Marriott. Where is the best place to rent a car. Also, I hard there is a beach within 20 miles of PV that has clear waters and light sand. What is the name of it and how do I get to it?

Thanks SO much!!

Answer 1

You won't see much clear water on the Pacific Coast this time of year.  The rainy season is just winding down, but still a lot of mud from the hills has washed into the ocean, so it will be kinda brown.  The Maya Riveria (from Cancun to Tulum) stays clear, because they don't have mountians next to the shore.

You can reserve your car online and then it will be ready at the airport when you get there.

Mismaloya is a nice beach about 25 minutes south.

Sayulitalife is a nice beach for surfing about 30 minutes north.

yeah its easy...not a big town...u probably dont need a car....when i go i usually just walk around or grab a taxi...they dont cost that much their! About the beach...dont know...but there is a place that a local told me about that there is a place where there is a cascade(waterfall) and i nice little river i think where the locals go and swim...that person that told me about it said that not that many people know about it...not even some locals...i would imagine that place would not be crowded! Seemed beautiful by the way he explained it to me...maybe u can ask around....probably the same place u'r talking about! Good luck...dont 4get to get on little boat that the locals have and go check out the famous houses on the coast of Vallarta...ask around they'll tell u!

Answer 3

It is as easy to drive as in any other city.

There are many places to rent a car, you may find them at airport or at hotel.

I don't  know wich beach you mean, there are many; but some are able only by boat.

I think is a good idea to rent a car, so you may move yourself to see around.

Answer 4

you really don't need a car...you can walk vallarta.  plus, it's the pacific ocean...the water isn't that "blue color" you are thinking.  in addition, accidents in mexico could have you in jail, so you need to be careful...unless you are fluent in spanish, then i'm sure you could work things out.  

the beach might be barra de navidad, or maybe nuevo vallarta??  there are several road signs...
