- Mary RToronto, Canada25 contributionsWe love Los Muertos Beach! There are great restaurants and bars overlooking the beach and ocean and the sunsets are amazing! We go to Cuates y Cuetes to have a drink or dinner at a beach table and watch the sunset and listen to the waves. Also, my grown son says they have the best smoothies anywhere! It is a popular spot for local families and people watching is so much fun. On our last visit we watched a huge turtle make her way among the tables to the sea.

- TravelingFoodieMiami, FL2,985 contributionsMarina Vallarta is not just a hub for hundreds of boats; it’s a vibrant and lively destination with something for everyone. The area is filled with companies offering a wide range of activities, including tours, fishing trips, and boat rentals. Along the marina, you’ll find an array of restaurants catering to all tastes—from sports bars and steakhouses to Italian eateries, seafood spots, local Mexican cuisine, delis, and health-focused options.
The atmosphere is a mix of winter snowbirds from North America and visitors from around the globe, creating a welcoming and diverse vibe. It’s a safe and enjoyable place to stroll, shop, or simply relax at a coffee shop, restaurant, or bar.
The only time it gets particularly busy is on Thursday evenings during the popular night market, but even that adds its own unique charm and fun to the experience.Written 28 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
