Nestled along the coastline of La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, this beach spans approximately 0.55 miles with an inviting 80-foot wide stretch of soft, grey-golden sand. Gentle, controlled waves and a gradually sloping shoreline make it particularly family-friendly—ideal for kids and relaxed swimming. Situated between the marina and the Vallarta Gardens Hotel, the beach is easy to reach and well-loved by locals.
There are no built-in services directly on the sand, so it’s best to bring your own essentials for a picnic or leisurely visit. However, during high season, roaming vendors may offer snacks, cold drinks, or ice cream. For basic facilities like restrooms, the nearby fish market may be used, though availability varies. On weekday and off-peak days, the beach can feel peaceful and mostly yours to enjoy.
