A trip to Puerto Vallarta wouldn’t be complete without a dip (or even better, many) in the ocean, and there are those for which the whole point of traveling to Vallarta is the ocean, the waves, and maybe the wind.
Then the question is: what water temperatures can you expect on your next trip to the area? Is the seawater warm, hot, or cold? Find out below:
