Does Puerto Vallarta have white sand beaches?

In general, I would say the sand on the beaches in Puerto Vallarta is not white and never equivalent to the ones in the Caribbean. There is a logical explanation for this, there are many coral reefs in the Gulf of Mexico and these when they die and erode become white sand. On the Pacific Ocean side, the ecosystem and deeper waters don’t sustain large reefs, so the sands are created by geological processes. Furthermore, beaches in Cancun are actually artificial and have to be filled up with trucks each time a hurricane washes them away, so what would you prefer, nice clear yellow natural sand beaches or the fake/artificial option? ;-)
