Magical sunsets and delicious food. This restaurant has the freshest tuna and the best Margaritas in the bay. The menu is focused on local Mexican seafood. Favorites include the sashimi trio, carnitas de atun and octopus. For special attention, the owner (Hector) that Mireya and Luke sent you and ask for a Luke special (not on the menu shhhhh) Lobster and Shrimp combo!
Enjoy your meal with the sun setting over the Marietas islands.

The onion soup and seared tuna are favourites but French foodies will like the escargo.

Laid back Mexican beach restaurant with colourful menu and beautiful guests. The menu is packed full of Mexican favourites each with its own individual spin. Ask for the Chicharron de Marlin to start and take it from there. The Poke tuna and Molcajete should not be missed.
Restaurant also has beach access to one of the best beaches in the bay.
If you like the menu there are sister restaurants serving the same both in Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Vallarta.

Beaches
Alamar Beach club, restaurant and bar. If the views from the Jungle Club are getting too much take a short 10 minute walk to the beach club. You need to leave the development so ask the friendly security guard on the way out for directions. Basic food and drinks are served all day or take your own (no glass bottles please)
Enjoy the large pool with 2 hot tubs for your enjoyment. For the more adventurous head the the beach and the ocean.
You will likely hear the music of the popular local beach La Manzanilla. Sadly one of the last remaining beaches that locals have access to. If you want to eat with the locals go to one of the many beach restaurants for some cheap local cuisine.

A Mexican beach popular with tourists - catch the bus outside Alamar with out crossing the road and enjoy the short trip Mexican bus style at speed and lots of bends. Hold on tight and sit by the driver so he doesn't forget you. The single fare shouldn't be more that 15 pesos.
Expect to pay an access fee for the beach - which seems to change depending on who is asking. If you are driving this will be a parking fee!
The beach restaurant gets mixed reviews and pretty basic options that some argue is not the best value, my advise would be to enjoy the beach and then have a drink.

Walk right from the Alamar beach club to one of the last beaches in the area that locals have free access to. Experience the music and atmosphere of authentic Mexican beach.
Banda music is usually blaring out and you will see the smiles of the children's faces from a family day out.
Pick from one of the many local beach restaurants for some cheap and cheerful options!
