Los Muertos Pier (The Iconic View)<\/h2>\n<p>You cannot visit Vallarta without seeing the Los Muertos Pier. <\/p>\n<p>It is the heart of the Old Town. <\/p>\n<p>The pier itself looks like a giant sail. <\/p>\n<p>At night, it lights up with all sorts of colors. <\/p>\n<p>But just before that, during the &quot;golden hour,&quot; it is the most romantic place to be. <\/p>\n<p>We highly recommend walking to the very end of the pier. <\/p>\n<p>The breeze feels AMAZING on your skin. <\/p>\n<p>You can stand there hand-in-hand and watch the sun go down right over the water. <\/p>\n<p>The way the light hits the low-rise buildings along the shore is just beautiful. <\/p>\n<p>It feels so authentic and local. <\/p>\n<p>If you are staying in one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/thepvgirl.com\/opportunity\/\">zona romantica puerto vallarta rentals<\/a>, you are just a short walk away from this spot. <\/p>\n<p>We LOVE how easy it is to just walk out your door and be at the pier in minutes. <\/p>\n<p>It makes the whole evening feel so easy and stress-free.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.marblism.com\/ArRHSJ7x6v2.webp\" alt=\"Los Muertos Pier lit up at sunset with vibrant colors\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\"><\/p>\n<h2>2. Conchas Chinas (The Secluded Paradise)<\/h2>\n<p>If you want something a bit more private, you have to go to Conchas Chinas. <\/p>\n<p>We call this the &quot;hidden gem&quot; of the south side. <\/p>\n<p>The beach here is very different from the main Los Muertos beach. <\/p>\n<p>It has these beautiful natural rock formations that create tiny, private tide pools. <\/p>\n<p>It is sooo quiet and peaceful here. <\/p>\n<p>There are no big crowds or loud music. <\/p>\n<p>Just the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks. <\/p>\n<p>We think it is the perfect spot for a romantic picnic. <\/p>\n<p>You can grab some local snacks and a bottle of wine and just sit on the sand. <\/p>\n<p>The views of the Sierra Madre mountains meeting the ocean are stunning. <\/p>\n<p>We actually wrote more about this area in our post about <a href=\"https:\/\/thepvgirl.com\/blog\/2026\/04\/22\/quiet-romance-hidden-gems-for-couples-in-puerto-vallarta\/\">Quiet Romance: Hidden Gems<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>It is definitely one of those off-the-beaten-path places that we tell all our friends about. <\/p>\n<p>Make sure to bring your camera because the colors here are always VIBRANT.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.marblism.com\/lnPQnHsuIB2.webp\" alt=\"Secluded beach scene at Conchas Chinas with rocks and golden sky\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\"><\/p>\n<h2>3. Walking the Malec\u00f3n<\/h2>\n<p>The Malec\u00f3n is our famous boardwalk. <\/p>\n<p>It is about a mile long and runs right along the ocean. <\/p>\n<p>We love walking here in the evening. <\/p>\n<p>There is so much energy and life. <\/p>\n<p>You will see local artists, street performers, and people selling fresh fruit. <\/p>\n<p>But even with all the excitement, it is still very romantic for couples. <\/p>\n<p>We like to start at one end and just wander slowly. <\/p>\n<p>You can stop and look at the bronze sculptures along the way. <\/p>\n<p>As the sun starts to set, the whole walkway glows. <\/p>\n<p>The best part is that you can see the sunset from almost any point on the Malec\u00f3n. <\/p>\n<p>It is a great way to experience the local culture while enjoying the natural beauty of the bay. <\/p>\n<p>We always feel so grateful to live in such a colorful and lively city. <\/p>\n<p>Everything feels so bright and happy. <\/p>\n<p>If you want to see more of our daily life and sunset photos, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thepvgirl\/\">Instagram<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>We post there all the time so you can see what is happening in town!<\/p>\n<h2>4. Amapas Beach (The Local Secret)<\/h2>\n<p>Just past the Los Muertos Pier is a smaller beach called Amapas. <\/p>\n<p>It is tucked away behind a small rocky point. <\/p>\n<p>Because you have to walk over a little hill to get there, it stays much quieter. <\/p>\n<p>We love this spot for a late afternoon swim followed by the sunset. <\/p>\n<p>The water is usually very calm here. <\/p>\n<p>It feels very intimate, like you have your own little piece of the ocean. <\/p>\n<p>The hillside is covered in lush green jungle, which makes the orange sunset colors pop even more. <\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for a place to stay nearby, we highly recommend checking out <a href=\"https:\/\/thepvgirl.com\/blog\/2026\/04\/23\/amapas-hillside-the-ultimate-couples-retreat\/\">Amapas Hillside<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>It is such a beautiful part of town. <\/p>\n<p>You get the best of both worlds: the peace of the hills and the beauty of the beach. <\/p>\n<p>It is so romantic and quiet. <\/p>\n<p>We think it is the best place for couples who want to relax and just be together.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Mirador de la Cruz (The 360 View)<\/h2>\n<p>For the couples who like a little bit of adventure, you have to hike up to the Mirador de la Cruz. <\/p>\n<p>It is a bit of a climb, but the view from the top is TOTALLY WORTH IT!! <\/p>\n<p>You get a 360-degree view of the entire city and the bay. <\/p>\n<p>You can see the red-tiled roofs of the Old Town and the deep blue of the Pacific. <\/p>\n<p>When the sun starts to go down, the whole city begins to twinkle. <\/p>\n<p>It is one of the most breathtaking things you will ever see. <\/p>\n<p>We recommend going about 30 minutes before sunset so you can find a good spot. <\/p>\n<p>Don&#39;t forget to bring some water for the walk up! <\/p>\n<p>It is a great way to get some exercise and then be rewarded with the best view in town. <\/p>\n<p>We love seeing the contrast between the mountains and the sea from up there. <\/p>\n<p>It makes you realize how special Puerto Vallarta really is.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Your Private Balcony<\/h2>\n<p>Honestly, sometimes the best spot is right where you are staying. <\/p>\n<p>Many of our <a href=\"https:\/\/thepvgirl.com\/thenest\/\">puerto vallarta old town condo rentals<\/a> have incredible ocean views. <\/p>\n<p>There is nothing quite like sitting on your own private balcony with a cold drink. <\/p>\n<p>You don&#39;t have to worry about crowds or finding a spot. <\/p>\n<p>You can just relax in your pajamas if you want! <\/p>\n<p>We make sure our condos are cozy and comfortable so you can feel right at home. <\/p>\n<p>The sunsets from our balconies are some of our favorites. <\/p>\n<p>The way the light reflects off the water and into the room is so magical. <\/p>\n<p>It is the perfect setting for a romantic evening in. <\/p>\n<p>You can watch the sky change colors while you plan your dinner for the night. <\/p>\n<p>We love providing these kinds of experiences for our guests. <\/p>\n<p>It is why we do what we do!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.marblism.com\/v_GmCYsSbNh.webp\" alt=\"Panoramic sunset view from a Puerto Vallarta condo balcony\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\"><\/p>\n<h2>Tips for the Perfect Sunset Evening<\/h2>\n<p>We want your romantic evening to be perfect. <\/p>\n<p>Here are a few things we have learned over the years. <\/p>\n<p>First, check the sunset time! <\/p>\n<p>It changes throughout the year, so make sure you are ready. <\/p>\n<p>Second, bring a light sweater or wrap. <\/p>\n<p>Sometimes when the sun goes down, a nice cool breeze comes off the ocean. <\/p>\n<p>Third, take your time. <\/p>\n<p>The best colors often happen 10 or 15 minutes after the sun has actually disappeared. <\/p>\n<p>That is when the sky really turns bright pink and purple. <\/p>\n<p>Don&#39;t rush away! <\/p>\n<p>Stay and enjoy the &quot;blue hour.&quot; <\/p>\n<p>It is just as beautiful and even more peaceful. <\/p>\n<p>We are so lucky to have these views every day. <\/p>\n<p>We hope you get to experience them soon. <\/p>\n<p>Puerto Vallarta is a place of magic and romance. <\/p>\n<p>We can&#39;t wait to welcome you to our family-owned corner of paradise. <\/p>\n<p>Whether you are on the beach or on your balcony, the sunset will be something you never forget. <\/p>\n<p>It is the heart of the Vallarta experience. <\/p>\n<p>We highly recommend making time for it every single day of your trip! <\/p>\n<p>See you soon in sunny Mexico!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have lived in Puerto Vallarta for a long time.
