To get to the beach, you can take a small path near the parking area, just a few meters from the road. It's a great spot to catch the sunset or simply admire the beauty of the Vallarta sea. Please remember to take care of this lovely place as there are no trash cans or facilities available. It's best to bring your own belongings and a plastic bag to avoid leaving any waste behind on the beach.
