Playa De Los Muertos
With a name like that, you know we had to check it out! “The beach of the dead” was named for the pirate raids of the near by town way back when. Don’t let the name scare you away. This place is far from dead these days. It is located just south of old town and is popular with locals and tourists alike.
We decided on a beachfront restaurant (of which there are many) called “La Palapa”,
LaPalapa Restaurant
and we loved this place. For about $70 USD (incl. tax) the two of us enjoyed the most fabulous gourmet meal with incredible presentation as well as service. We had everything from mussels to lobster ice cream—yes lobster ice cream! —And it was fantastic. Did I mention that price included drinks as well? While this was not a “cheap” Mexican meal, we felt it was more than a value especially when you throw in the outrageous sunset we were offered, courtesy of the universe!
When you visit Puerto Vallarta on your next pirating trip, Playa De Los Muertos must be on list of places to see. Check it out for yourselves and let us know what you think!
