洛斯穆埃托斯海滩：巴亚尔塔港最鲜活的城市海滩

Playa Los Muertos in Puerto Vallarta feels less like a beach you simply visit and more like a little Mexican world happening beside the Pacific 🌴 The atmosphere is wonderfully alive—local families, travelers, music, beach vendors, colorful boats, restaurants, and the iconic pier all moving at their own rhythm. Stay until sunset and the whole bay seems to turn gold. The food is part of the experience. Fresh shrimp, grilled fish, oysters, mangoes and cucumbers with lime and chile, ceviche, and refreshing tuba make it feel unmistakably Mexico — simple, bright, salty, spicy, and perfect with your feet near the sand. There are also plenty of restaurants offering everything from traditional Mexican flavors to tropical-inspired dishes. A little trivia: Los Muertos means “The Dead,” and despite the slightly dramatic name, the beach is one of Puerto Vallarta’s most lively places. One theory is that the name comes from ancient burial remains discovered in the area. Today, the famous sail-shaped pier has become almost the opposite of the name—a symbol of life, movement, and sunsets. It gets crowed for some time. It can get busy and vendors can be persistent, but honestly, that energy is part of its character. If you want a silent, untouched beach, this probably isn’t it. If you want to sit by the Pacific with good food, warm people, music in the distance, and a sunset that makes everyone suddenly stop talking — this is the place 🌅

Nicer beach in the Zona Romantico, lots of umbrella/lounge chairing going on. North of Los Muertos pier, water is bilgey possibly due to boat moorings. Some head high waves Feb. 7th, 2026.

At playas Los Muertos, you can do it all here... Lounging all day on our hotel's beach chairs for the past three days was the way to go for us. We didn't even use the pool. While soaking in the warm sun (overcast morning til 10a), snoozing, eating, drinking and people watching, I didn't want the day to end. Never got to see our hotel room until later in the evening. Lots of vendors all over the beach. You just need to learn to tune them off if not interested, and simply say, "no thank you." However, good luck with the persistence ones. We got our foot massage by Alejandro Molina, a couple times one day. He's that guy walking through the Los Muertos beach with all his equipment: black folding seat, large umbrella, yellow towels, massage ball, head and feet cushions, and massage chair if you prefer over hotel lounge chair. We have used him many times before in the past year. We liked our food vendors: you can hear David a mile away selling his oysters, Miguel (clams) wearing "Mexican viagra" t-shirt , Sebastian with his smile and sombrero selling mangos and lastly, Zeke and son "Zeke Ceviche" selling their ceviche tostadas. If you're not staying in a hotel by playas Los Muertos, beach vendors and restaurants will charge you anywhere from 150 pesos to 450 pesos per person for their chairs, table and umbrella. It's best you ask around. The beach can get packed up until sunset with lots of beach goers and passer-bys, locals or non local, the entire beach is lively and busy. Definitely not a "quiet" beach. Lastly, must see sunsets. Next to Mazatlan and La Paz, Mexico, Puerto Vallarta has one of the best sunsets.

Easy access from zone romantica. Lots beach restaurants around here. It’s pretty busy. Nice sunset views. It’s low season so we are here enjoying some way quieter beach moments. Keep eyes out for your valuable stuff. Bring a waterproof bag and take your cell phone with you if you want to go chill in the water.

Nice beach, pretty popular, but not overly crowded. Lots of people selling snacks along the beach and near the bathrooms. The waves were bigger/stronger than we expected, and since I'm afraid of swimming in the ocean, I didn't love it, but it wasn't a bad beach. 😅 Some areas are hard to walk on without shoes because of all the rocks. Very coarse sand, almost no seashells.
