The beach at La Lancha was stunning with its fine sand. We walked along the shoreline from Punta de Mita for over an hour and then took the ATM bus from the Oxxo store back to Mita. While the beaches in Mita were not very pleasant due to rocks, this one at La Lancha was truly beautiful.

While exploring Puerto Vallarta, I stumbled upon a hidden gem of a beach thanks to some friendly surfers. This secluded spot boasts crystal clear waters that are remarkably pristine. Not to mention, the waves here are simply delightful. It's safe to say that this beach is a well-kept secret that's definitely worth discovering.

This beach is incredibly beautiful and thankfully, not as crowded as some of the others. It's also a great spot for surfing. However, it's important to note that there are no facilities like kiosks, restaurants, or bathrooms. Additionally, you'll need to walk for around 10-15 minutes from the parking lot on a hiking trail to reach the beach.

The beach is really nice and has a decent point break. I would have rated it 5 stars, but the area can get quite packed by 11 am with many inexperienced surfers. It's likely to be less crowded when the waves are bigger.
