Boca de Tomates Beach
At the bay's northern edge, Boca de Tomates combines seafood palapas with a wild river-mouth setting. Strong surf makes this a meal and shoreline-watching destination, not a reliable swimming beach.

Keep exploring Puerto Vallarta with our travel partners.
Come to Boca de Tomates for seafood under the family-run palapas at the north end, and watch the active surf rather than planning a swim. The nearby Ameca River mouth and mangroves make the shoreline more interesting for birdwatching, but the tourism guide specifically cautions against entering the water there. At low tide, a coastal walk from Marina Vallarta is another possible approach; check the tide before relying on it.
What to look for
