Bucerías Beach

Golden sand stretching literally for miles, waves that are normally gentle and a gradual drop-off make this an ideal family beach — with lots of oceanfront palapa restaurants and an interesting small town to explore, besides. Boasting the longest beach on the bay, “The Place of the Divers” is known for its freshly shucked giant oysters and other sublime seafood, many folks indulging in the gifts of the sea when not happily frolicking in it here. There’s lots of space for everyone to do their thing, with most sun worshippers concentrated in front of the beach restaurants, where they can claim a lounge chair and maybe even a palapa for shade by simply by ordering something. A strong draw here is the constant breeze that makes the beach here feel fresher and cooler than some others, particularly during Puerto Vallarta’s hot summers. The town offers a wide choice of cuisines with an ambiance and price range certain to please everyone in your party, most spots right on the water. And the colorful outdoor market by the main plaza is not only fun to browse, but an easy way to absorb local flavor while picking up a souvenir or two.

“Vallarta Lifestyles has readers from Punta de Mita to Mismaloya and beyond, so announcing my business, means the positioning and recognition of my agency throughout the region. The contents of the magazine are very interesting, because they provide relevant information about activities in the destination. I am pleased to see it at hotels, restaurants and galleries, but what excites me the most is to see people with their issue in hand. That is really relevant for us.”

The Agency Punta de Mita

"Vallarta Lifestyles is very similar to The Agency, we have a similar client base, [residents and tourists] who seek for information about the topics that are featured in each issue; lifestyle, restaurants, and architecture, among others. And, because the way your magazines are located, we can really capture the clients we want."

“Vallarta Lifestyles, from its inception has been a quality reference. In some way, it has managed to consolidate the destination because all our restaurants where there and we communicate as an exchange platform. The benefit, besides advertisement and recommendation, is that this publication is a solid copy of Puerto Vallarta’s evolution. If you pick up an old issue, immediately you’ll recall precious memories.”
