Exciting nightlife

One thing to know about Puerto Vallarta – it’s safe and easy for an English speaker. When night falls over Puerto Vallarta the party begins. You will quickly note that Puerto Vallarta is actually part ocean front resort and part old colonial town. In previous years there was an active live music scene. Not so much anymore. Now it has shifted to DJ clubs that produce an array of eclectic music. The greatest concentration of nightspots can be found along Calle Ignacio L. Vallarta, the main southbound road after it crosses the Río Cuale. Here in one three-block area you’ll find everything from a blues club, sports bar, and live mariachi music to a gay dance club. Walk from place to place and take it all in. It’s a pageant.

Or, shift your focus to malecón. Once lined with restaurants, it is now home to hip dance clubs with fabulous ocean views. Try this: Stroll the walkway by the water’s edge and check out the action at the various clubs. It’s always entertaining.
