Beautiful Staircase to Las Pilitas Los Muertos Beach, Puerto Vallarta
Las Pilitas is the place where the original The Boy on the Seahorse (El Niño Sobre el Caballo de Mar - mostly known as El Caballito de Mar, The Little Seahorse) by Rafael Zamarripa was first located. Now people just know it as the Seahorse statue, just in case.
A strong storm swept the statue into the sea, the local government requested a larger replica from the young artist and this one was placed on the Puerto Vallarta Malecon, a place where it would be safer. This was the first statue of many more that would later become part of the now-famous open-air gallery along the seaside promenade (malecon) in downtown PV.
The original statue was later recovered and placed once again at Las Pilitas on the rocks (it was swept away again during Hurricane Kenna and recovered once again), you can see it there today, you can also see that the concrete block is extra reinforced now :-). See it here:
Las Pilitas themselves are just a series of rocks that lay between the sea and the beach, nothing sensational, but a good reference point. They appear and disappear (more or less) depending on the beaches evolution, there's quite a bit of sand moving in and out and up and down the beach. So you never know just how much rock you'll find. They could form small tide pools, thus the name: pilitas, (small baptismal font).
A side streets from Olas Altas Street in Old Vallarta is also named after this natural landmarks. To get to them you can walk South along the malecon and then follow Los Muertos Beach past the pier, past Blue Chairs Resort, then you'll get to Las Pilitas. You can also walk along Amapas Street until you get to the staircase above and walk down from there. Watch the intro video for the exact location of the staircase or use this link:

Best Neighborhoods for Newcomers:
Taking its name from the cruise ship port that welcomes seafaring visitors into the city, Marina Vallarta is a fascinating case study of the variety within Puerto Vallarta's many neighborhoods. Standing stark against the rustic backdrop of nearby Pitillial, Marina Vallarta is one of the most posh and well-manicured areas of the city. The surrounding area is home to a host of tourist amenities from the local world-class golf course in the area that delivers an idyllic tropical twist on the favored weekend pastime to the friendly neighborhood Wal-Mart.
Another favorite amenity enjoyed by residents of the Marina Vallarta area is convenient beach access , as it is within walking distance of the Hotel Zone shores that separate the city's northern beaches from the Malecon area connecting Zona Romantica and Centro to the Mexican coast. Favored by high-end visitors because of the network of recently constructed condominium communities that populate the area as well as its proximity to the luxe shopping options provided by Galerias Vallarta, Marina Vallarta is a glimpse at Puerto Vallarta at its most indulgent.

Isla Marietas-Hidden treasure beach!puerto vallarta mexico.Full video including cave swim/lion rock!
Las Islas Marietas refers to a group of uninhabited islands located about 35 kms northwest of Puerto Vallarta and a visit to the islands is a very popular day trip among visitors in Vallarta. Even if you’ve never heard of them, chances are you’ve come across an infamous aerial photo of it’s jaw-dropping, hidden beach.
Many bird enthusiasts come to the islands to see the blue-footed booby. Others come to visit the elusive hidden beach in search of that perfect photo. Some even come to scuba dive, snorkel and explore the diverse marine life. We’re not scuba divers or bird watchers but we’re budget travelers and our goal was to see Las Islas Marietas on a budget!
Las Islas Marietas On A Budget
A panga parked at Punta de Mita beach
HOW TO GET THERE
Although many day trips to Las Islas Marietas depart from Puerto Vallarta, the distance means you’ll be on a boat for over an hour before you can spot the islands. A more enjoyable (and much shorter) boat ride is from Punta de Mita. The islands are only about 8kms off the coast of Punta de Mita and you’ll save both time and money by starting your trip here.
Punta de Mita is a very small and quiet beach town and home to many luxurious resorts (for those that are not budget travellers!). If you have time to explore the Vallarta area, it’s a great place to visit and so are the neighbouring beach towns of Sayulita and San Pancho. Punta de Mita has one main road (Avenida Las Redes) that leads you to the beach called Playa Anclote. You’ll find a hotel and a few beach side restaurants and this is where you’ll be able to hire a panga to take you to Las Islas Marietas.
Las Islas Marietas on a Budget
From Sayulita:
We had been spending a few days in Sayulita and it took a bit of backtracking but it was relatively easy to get to Punta de Mita. From the main station in Sayulita, take a bus headed towards Puerto Vallarta/Bucerias and let the driver know you’re going to Punta de Mita. You’ll have to get off at Bucerias and the driver can tell you where to cross the street and then wait at the bus stop on the other side of the road for a bus heading to Punta de Mita. In total, it took about 45 minutes from Sayulita to Punta de Mita. You can also hire a taxi and fares are listed at the main square in Sayulita.
Las Islas Marietas On A Budget
Our first views of the beach
From Puerto Vallarta:
Punta de Mita is about an hour northwest of Puerto Vallarta. A car rental will give you greater flexibility to explore the coast but, with a bit of planning, you can get to Punta de Mita by bus too. In front of the Walmart parking lot beside Galerias Vallarta Shopping Mall is where you’ll see a busy bus stop. There is often a man helping locals and tourists get on the right bus so don’t be afraid to ask. An ATM (Autostransportes Medina) bus will take you to Punta de Mita but you can also take a white and green Compostela bus. Compostela buses run frequently and go all the way to Sayulita so you’d have to get off at Bucerias and then get on another bus to Punta de Mita. Ask the drivers, we found they were very helpful!
The buses that service these towns are more comfortable than the local Puerto Vallarta buses but are not luxurious by any means. Expect a bumpy ride. There’s no wifi or entertainment but you may get lucky with A/C. Depending on the distances travelled, fares range from $20 to $35 pesos per person – way cheaper than a taxi or car rental!
Las Islas Marietas on a Budget
WHEN TO GO
As early as possible. Do not snooze. Do not linger at breakfast. Just go as early as you can. My biggest piece of advice would be to arrive EARLY. Like most popular tourist attractions, the crowds at Las Islas Marietas are coming and it’s only a matter of time before the big tour boats from Vallarta make their way to the islands. Some arrive as early as 11am so it’s worth getting up early to beat the crowds. You can always nap on the beach later! And if you’re hoping to see whales along the way, December to March is the season when humpbacks visit the bay to give birth.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
If you want to explore Las Islas Marietas on a budget then hiring a ‘panga’ (small fishing boat) from Punta de Mita is the way to go. Tour companies can charge over $100 CAD for a day trip to the islands and, if you’ve been following us, you know that’s out of our price range for an afternoon. I knew there had to be other alternatives but, after searching online, the cheapest I could find was about $60 CAD – not cheap enough for us!
Because of this, we arrived to Punta de Mita with a maximum budget in mind of $600 pesos each. Turns out, our first offer was for only $400 pesos! And with a bit of haggling, we got it down to $350 pesos each (January 2016). This included transport to and from the islands and the cost of a Semarnat wristband that would allow us to access the protected area of the islands. There were no fancy meals, music or
