Took a stroll to the beach...
Puerto Vallarta has many different beaches, and while my favorites for swimming happen to be on the southside of the bay in Punta Negra & Mismaloya, the beach in the Marina is perfect. There is public access along side the bayview grand complex and a nice long walk down to the Westin. At high tide there are some areas where you may get your feet wet though! If you find yourself heading the opposite direction (perhaps for a sea turtle release) on the beach during the rainy reason be sure to keep your eye out for crocodiles!
