Palmares Beach, Puerto Vallarta South Zone

South Zone beach

South of downtown Vallarta and the Romantic zone the highway going south runs along the edge of the sea and the lush green jungle hills that drop into the bay. This area has been developed mainly as a residential area and offers some very beautiful resorts, many with their “own” beaches and coves.

Check out the Zone map if you don’t know the general layout of the city, it’s not hard at all as it all lies along the edge of Banderas Bay in a north-south curve.

There are many nice beaches, Los Arcos, the Zoo, Vallarta Botanical Gardens and the isolated South-Pacific-like beaches and towns south of Boca de Tomatlán that can only be reached by water taxi.
