Paddleboarding
PV can be found on Mexico’s Pacific Coast in beautiful Banderas Bay which is the largest bay in Mexico. It measures an impressive 40km from end to end which is around 26 miles long. In Puerto Vallarta, one of the most popular water activities is paddleboarding. Paddleboarding is a water sport where people can kneel, lie, or stand on a surfboard in the water. Stand up paddleboarding can be learned quickly, and everyone of all ages can learn. In the Puerto Vallarta area, Punta Mita is a popular spot to paddleboard, and it is located just 30 minutes north of the PVR airport. There, the Punta Mita waters are clear and calm, which are perfect for paddleboarding. You can rent a paddleboard right on the beach for approximately $10 dollars or $200 pesos for 60 minutes.

Snorkeling

Secondly, snorkeling is another popular water activity to enjoy in Banderas bay. Snorkeling is when you wear a diving mask, a breathing tube (snorkel), and swim fins if you want. If you go snorkeling in PV, you may be lucky enough to see many vibrant fish, manta rays, sea turtles, and more. Colomitos Beach and the Los Arcos National Marine Park are two excellent places for snorkeling. You will need to take a water taxi to get to both of these destinations as there are no roads to get to these beaches as they are surrounded by the lush jungle greenery of the Sierra Madre mountains.

Kitesurfing

Next, kitesurfing is another water activity that is popular in PV during several months of the year. Kitesurfing uses the power of the wind, so you can be pulled across the water by holding onto a large kite. The kitesurfing kites are made with heavy-duty polyester, so it is very safe. In the Puerto Vallarta area, Bucerias is an excellent spot for kitesurfing and it is just twenty minutes from the airport. The climate conditions there enjoy consistently strong winds and average waves during the months of March through June, which are perfect for kitesurfing. They also hold an annual Wind Festival each year where the best kitesurfers compete in a variety of different categories as they show off their skills and speed on the water.

 

Swimming

Without a doubt, swimming is probably the most popular water activity to enjoy in PV. The days are always sunny and warm, so you and your family can go swimming in the ocean anytime you vacation in Puerto Vallarta. Plus, the waters of Banderas Bay are calmer than the waters of the open ocean outside the bay in the Pacific Ocean. Which beach should you and your family go to for the best swimming? Los Muertos Beach, Conchas Chinas, and Playa Palmares are a few of the area’s top beaches to head to for swimming as the waters are clear and calm.
