How Do You Get to Majahuitas Beach?

Majahuitas is a small secluded beach located about 10 miles south of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and is only accessible by boat. 

With its limited access, it makes for the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. During the day, Majahuitas is a tranquil and serene paradise, offering visitors the chance to relax and unwind in a pristine natural setting. At night, the beach comes alive with the sounds of live music, dancing, and socializing around a bonfire and tiki torches.

Some enjoy spending a full day at Majahuitas, while others stop by on their way to beautiful Yelapa. Either way, when you set your eyes on this small remote location – you’ll see why so many people make a full day of it.  Once you arrive at Majahuitas, you can explore the cove and beach, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The cove is small and secluded – the beach is a narrow strip of golden sand, surrounded by rocky cliffs and lush vegetation.

The water is crystal clear and warm which makes for great for swimming and snorkelling. We can confirm, the snorkeling here is some of the best in the entire Bay of Banderas swimming with all kinds of tropical fish, octopus, turtles, rays, and more! 

The beach is surrounded by lush jungle and is known for its peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, making it a great place to relax and unwind. There are a few small restaurants and bars on the beach, but it is generally quite secluded so it is recommended to bring your own food and drinks.

During the day, Majahuitas is a perfect place to escape the crowds and enjoy the natural beauty of Puerto Vallarta. The crystal-clear waters are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and paddle boarding, while the sandy beach is ideal for sunbathing and lounging. Visitors can also take a hike along the shoreline or explore the nearby jungle trails.

One of the highlights of Majahuitas is the snorkeling. The waters are teeming with colorful fish and other marine life, and visitors can rent snorkeling equipment or take a guided tour to explore the underwater world. Kayaking is another popular activity, with visitors able to rent kayaks and explore the coves and inlets that dot the shoreline.

The reason for such beautiful wanters and jungle landscape is because there has been no commercial development here – allowing you to fully immerse yourself in a secluded beach completely unspoiled by human development.

For those who prefer to stay on dry land, there are plenty of options as well. Visitors can relax on the beach and soak up the sun, take a stroll along the shoreline, or hike through the jungle to explore the natural beauty of the area. There are also plenty of opportunities for wildlife watching, with the beach and surrounding jungle home to a wide variety of birds and other creatures.

One of the highlights of Majahuitas is its breathtaking sunsets. As the day comes to a close, the sky transforms into a canvas of vibrant hues, casting a golden glow over the beach and creating a truly magical atmosphere.

Majahuitas Beach Club

As the sun sets, the beach comes alive with a vibrant nightlife scene. Majahuitas is famous for its beach parties, with live music, dancing, and socializing lasting well into the night. 

The party is known for its lively atmosphere and the entertainment is usually provided by a DJ, who will play a mix of Latin and international music to keep the party going all night. There’s also often a bar service, where you can purchase drinks and refreshments. Feel free to visit their website if you’re interested in finding out who’s scheduled to perform at the beach club.

This certainly is a must-do experience if you have never been to Puerto Vallarta before, or if you have – a wonderful way to meet new people and let loose for a night if going out to a club isn’t your thing.  Plan your trip back ahead of time here however, because its secluded, and things can get more complicated to get back to Yelapa or PV in the dark (especially if you don’t speak Spanish). So if you plan to party here, just be prepared with your transportation ahead of time, allowing you to enjoy the evening and soak in the atmosphere with peace of mind. 

One of the most popular activities at Majahuitas is the sunset cruise. Visitors can charter a yacht or catamaran and sail along the coastline, taking in the stunning views of the sun setting over the Pacific Ocean. As the sun dips below the horizon, the sky turns shades of pink, orange, and red, creating a breathtaking natural spectacle.
