Playa de los Muertos

Por qué Los Muertos rankea

It’s the beach you can actually walk to from a huge chunk of PV tourism: pier views, vendors, restaurants, and that “we’re really here” first swim. It’s not a private cove. It’s the town’s living room with sand.

Cómo hacerlo sin odiarlo

1. Morning swim when possible — heat and crowds climb.
2. Pick a beach club or simple chair setup with a spend cap; endless “just one more bucket” is how afternoons die.
3. Watch flags/conditions; Banderas Bay is friendlier than Pacific Cabo, but respect still matters.
4. After beach: shower, siesta, then Malecón or a single dinner plan.
5. Don’t combine with a full Marietas boat day unless your fitness is honest.

Consejos

• Lockers/bag discipline on busy days.
• ATMs and phones + sand = comedy tragedy.
• Street food is part of the fun — stomach pacing still counts.
• Sunset photos: pier + Malecón sculptures later, not while dehydrated.

Know your transfer vs walk reality. If you’re north of the fun, budget taxi both ways rather than heroic walks in 2 p.m. sun. Pair Los Muertos with one eat page (taco crawl or La Palapa-style dinner) — not five.
