Beach

Message from Lora Pope

If you’re looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of Puerto Vallarta, Yelapa is the perfect spot for a relaxing day (or weekend!). This little slice of paradise has beautiful hiking trails that lead to secluded waterfalls, unique accommodations that let you immerse yourself in nature, and a stunning beachfront where you can watch the Pacific Coast sunsets.

The vibe in Yelapa is so laid-back and chill—some even say it’s Mexico’s last authentic beach town. Whether you’re into hiking, relaxing on the beach, or exploring the local culture, Yelapa has something for everyone.
