Family vacations are all about having a marvelous time, fun and enjoying some quality time with your hardworking family. Puerto Vallarta has long been Mexico’s top beach side vacation spot because it offers families everything they may need; sun (year round), sand, pristine sea (clear and warm), and some of the best restaurants around (and plenty of them).

What is also required for a good family vacation, however, is a little alone time doing something fun or relaxing! Puerto Vallarta can fulfil this need, too, with a great selection of watersports for all ages and levels of fitness! Take a look at some of the top things on offer for fun at the beach in Puerto Vallarta.

Fun at the Beach in Puerto Vallarta

The more adventurous, and sporty visitors looking for fun at the beach in Puerto Vallarta can choose to enjoy kitesurfing, para-sailing, or surfing. Though surfing is not new to Puerto Vallarta, kite surfing is. Both draw huge amounts of interest from locals, tourists, and international professionals alike. So what’s the difference you ask? Well kitesurfing is done on something akin to a skate-board with a sail on it. And surfing… well, you know how that’s done. Puerto Vallarta has some of the best spots around for both of these activities; the best beaches are just north of Puerto Vallarta, the best waves just north or south of Banderas bay.

Para-sailing is one of those things that we’ve all seen people do, wanted to try, but dropped out of at the last minute, am I right? Well, there’s no time like the present; give it a go, the practitioners of Puerto Vallarta’s beaches are all licensed and competent.

Rather than get the blood pumping, those looking to relax as well as have fun at the beach in Puerto Vallarta might try snorkelling or diving. There are some really great spots in Puerto Vallarta both to learn, and to practice these skills. There are some fantastic beginner beaches, where you can get some lessons. When you’re more experienced you can always explore areas like Marietas Island and the Los Arcos rock formation.

Straight forward vacation fun at the beach in Puerto Vallarta can be found in the many banana boat rides available in Puerto Vallarta; let’s be honest, no vacation is really complete without falling off one of these ridiculously fun things! Whatever you choose to do, however, we hope most sincerely that you enjoy your time in Puerto Vallarta!
