I have spent many months living and working as a puerto vallarta digital nomad<\/strong>, and I know the feeling. It is 1 PM. Your morning calls are done. The sun is high. Your brain feels a little bit like mush from staring at your screen.<\/p>\n

You need a break. Not just a coffee break, but a real reset.<\/p>\n

When I lived in the heart of town, I found the absolute BEST place to disconnect for an hour. It is a tiny, hidden cove called Playa Amapas.<\/p>\n

If you are a solo traveler or a couple looking for some peace, this spot is truly AMAZING!!<\/p>\n

The Best Mid-Day Escape<\/h2>\n

Playa Amapas is tucked away just south of the main beach. It feels a world away from the busy beach clubs and vendors of Los Muertos.<\/p>\n

I LOVE it because it feels calm and low-key, and no one is trying to sell you silver jewelry every five minutes. It is just you, the sand, and the bright blue water.<\/p>\n

It is the perfect place to clear your head. I often bring a book and just sit under the shade of a tree for sixty minutes.<\/p>\n

The silence here is sooo refreshing. It helps me focus much better when I get back to my desk for afternoon work.<\/p>\n

How to Get There<\/h2>\n

Getting to Amapas is half the fun! <\/p>\n

Start at the south end of Playa Los Muertos. You will see a big rock formation. Look for the little stone stairs carved right into the side of the cliff.<\/p>\n

I highly recommend wearing sandals with a back strap for this. The rocks can be a bit slippery when wet!<\/p>\n

You walk up the stairs, over the hill, and suddenly you are looking down at this gorgeous, secluded cove. It feels like a secret garden on the edge of the ocean.<\/p>\n
