Escape the Crowd at San Blas

Everyone goes to the beach when they visit Puerto Vallarta. Some days, you just want to throw down your gear and enjoy the sun, but some days, you want something a bit off the beaten path. When you have one of those days, why not abandon the beach for a few hours and venture out of your Villa Puerto Vallarta to enjoy the area without the call of the crowd. One option – go north on a journey to San Blas.

This trip can be a day-long adventure, especially if you stop at the northern end of your expedition to swim and snorkel. The town San Blas is further north along the coast, about 60 miles from Puerto Vallarta.

You’ll find the pace of life much slower in this small fishing village. If you’re an adrenaline junkie, a day spent exploring town and floating in the bay will help you break your habit. Make no mistake – there are plenty of things to do in San Blas: visit La Tovara springs, see Our Lady of the Rosary Church and the ruins of the old fort, swim in Matachen Bay. And enjoy the relative quiet of the experience.

Keep in mind that holidays are likely to draw a good number of visitors to Mexico’s beach towns. For example, Semana Santa (Easter week) is the equivalent of Spring Break, and many Mexican families head for the beach in towns like San Blas. These jovial crowds add to the festive mood during any holiday season.

It’s a special treat to spend the holidays in a Villa Puerto Vallarta, so embrace the celebrations as well as the celebrants, and have a great time. If the holidays are your favorite times during the year, now is a good time to book a villa Puerto Vallarta and start your preparations for a great time on Banderas Bay.
