Playa Yelapa
Yelapa's beach and fishing village lie beneath the southern Sierra Madre and are reached by boat. The setting supports a longer stay that can include palapa dining and a walk into the village.

Yelapa is worth the boat trip for its village-and-beach setting beneath the Sierra Madre, with no road approach described by the tourism guide. Spend time on the gently waved shoreline, then decide whether to continue into the village rather than treating the landing as the whole visit. Beachfront palapas offer food and shade, and the guide identifies a local art, history and culture museum as another reason to stay longer.
What to look for
Boat-only approach through the southern bay
