Playa Las Tortugas

Playa las Tortugas is located approximately 90 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta in the scenic state of Nayarit. It is a mostly residential area with some very beautiful homes located along a spectacular five-mile stretch of white sand beach that is perfect for sunbathing and swimming. A protected estuary, which is home to hundreds of species of birds and other animals, is adjacent to the beach. The area surrounding Turtle Beach has retained all the charm of Old Mexico, with its colorful hand-made talavera tiles, palapa roofs and roof-top terraces filled with red and orange bougainvillea, yet is a modern area with private villas with all the modern amenities. Turtle Beach is an easy drive to Puerto Vallarta, Bucerias, Punta de Mita and Sayulita.
