joiwatani Says: Snorkelling is great at the Punta de Mita. For us, we rented a boat to the Marietas Islands and had seen different fishes there. I think, it is more fun fishing than snorkelling because I had an urge of catching the huge fishes!
joiwatani Says: When we were in Belize, there was this woman who was braiding hair at the cruise ship's terminal. There were children in line for their hair braided for $10! My daughter Sierra was envious of the other children and also wanted her hair done. However, the braider was braiding...
joiwatani Says: For a small amount of money (in pesos) you can learn how to surf in Punta De Mita. The waves are not strong enough and it is great for learning.I had seen a lot of father and daughter duos going out to the beach and the dads are teaching their daughters how to surf.
joiwatani Says: I rented a boat for about two hours and head down to the Islas Marietas. On our way back, I saw this guy fishing. According from the owner of the boat that I rented, this guy had been there overnight and there's a lot of big fish here. Some rent boats for fishing here. Not...
joiwatani Says: I saw some people who rented a jetski in Punta De Mita. However, the jetskiers were just close to the beach and afraid to go far out the horizon.
joiwatani Says: I sat on the beach watching my daughter swimming and saw these guys paddling their surf boards. They were not actually surfing but paddling! It is kind of cool to see a lot of them. They were all standing up paddling the boards.
joiwatani Says: This must be one of the surfers' paradise because I saw a lot of surfers in the area. However, I didn't see a lot of rentals for surf boards (so make sure to bring your own!). There are local surfers here who are amazing. The waves are not that big but good enough for...

Brenda's Restaurant: Cool salsa dip at the Brenda's Restaurant
joiwatani Says: Before heading out to the bus stop, my daughter and I stopped by Brenda's Restaurant on our way. Thinking that we might get hungry for the bus ride. The restaurant looked like a bar at night. It has some tables outside where we opted to sit down. There are plants and trees...
This Nipa Hut Restaurant (I forgot it's name): This Nipa Hut Restaurant
joiwatani Says: The owner of the boat that I rented hangs out here. The restaurant is this huge nipa hut with lots of dining tables fronting the ocean. It has excellent view!We did not eat here because we had chosen El Coral Restaurant, which, I thought has mediocre and expensive food!...
Mexican Food at the beach!: Lunch at the El Coral Restaurant
joiwatani Says: This restaurant is located at the beach and they actually even have tables with umbrellas on the beach itself. The dining area is actually with sand floors and with a great view of the ocean. The food that was served to us was okay but not that extra-ordinary.
Dorado: great meal, margartias and views!
mscecelia Says: If you aren't staying a the Four Seasons in Punta Mita and are in the actual town, don't miss out on eating at the Dorado Restaurant. We ate there 4 nights out of our 10 day stay in Punta Mita. All the dishes we excellent. One night we just made a meal out of the appetizers!...
There are many buses that goes to Punta De Mita. However, make sure to hop in a bus that has a window that you can slide open. This way you can have fresh air coming in from the beach. It's a two hour ride and being cooped up in a bus without windows that open will be a miserable ride what with the warm weather!
Moreover, it is nicer so you can take pictures - that is if you brought a camera that has a stability option in it.
The bus fare to Punta De Mita is 24 Mexican pesos.

Make sure that you have life jackets
joiwatani Says: Travelling with children is really difficult because we have to make sure that they are safe at all times. When I went to Punta de Mita and I wanted to see the Blue Footed Boobies at the Islas Marietas, my daughter was scared to get into the boat because she does not know...
tartansntulips Says: Just a heads up for those travellers wishing a quiet time on your rental deck. We are staying at the El Anclote condominiums building #1. The condo itself is everything the write-up said they just forgot or omitted to tell us about the construction between us and the ocean....
It was a hassle to go swimming without a place to change clothes or a shower. However, my daughter and I camped in front of a hotel and used their bathroom to change.
We actually bought our drinks there and our lunch so the staff kind of recognize us that they allowed us to go and use their bathrooms. The shower are outside.
Unique Suggestions: Don't forget to bring a towel from your hotel. I always bring a sarong because it is very light to carry and I can use it for everything - in this case, I used it as a towel.
Fun Alternatives: Buy some food or drinks at a restaurant close to the beach and you can use their facilities. There is one shower at the beach at the last hotel close to the boats and you can use this without asking permission. However, it is very close to tables where people are eating.

The sand is soft in Punta de Mita
joiwatani Says: I compared the beaches of Punta de Mita to the beaches at the "Hoteles" in Puerto Vallarta, the sand in Punta de Mita is much softer and whiter. Also, the beach is cleaner with fewer people and tourists. The water is mint green instead of brownish color!In Puerto Vallarta,...
Swimming at the Islas Marietas
joiwatani Says: For about 45 minutes boat ride, you can experience swimming at the Marietas Islands- a sanctuary of the Blue-footed boobies!My daughter and I went swimming at the Islas Marietas. Besides us, there is also one family in the island swimming with us. The only huddle we had...
There is a Surf Club in Punta de Mita
joiwatani Says: There is actually a surf club in Punta De Mita- just in case you are interested. Here's the information in the picture.
The stunning Jack Nicklaus golf course with a special over-the-water hole to provide unforgettable drives makes golfing here like taking a day trip to Heaven. This course is fabulous and impecibally maintained. My friends and I were pampered from the moment we arrived. We especially enjoyed the staff bringing us cooling off facial cloths several times during our game.
If you have plenty of peso's or US dollars (because it's pricy) to spend and you are out early and find yourself hungry, order breakfast burritos from the gal's making rounds on the refreshment cart. They will call in the order to the restaurant at the Four Seasons, make them fresh and deliver them to you on the course, YUM! They go great with a Pacifico :-)
The golfers here tend to be very relaxed and very friendly, non pushy. I like that.
One very unique hole is 3-B, it's a 194-yard, par-3, is located on a natural island in the ocean. Make sure you play it before leaving! Accessable only during low tide, so go back after your game if it's unaccessable the first time through.
Equipment: The course offers great Callaway clubs as well as decent shoes for rental. Just rent your clubs there, don't bother hauling yours, bring balls and shoes though if you want to save some cash.
