San Francisco [San Pancho] lies just a few miles away from Banderas Bay. On this long wide beach of Puerto Vallarta you will see the surfing water and the sand churning together. There are rougher tides here than in Banderas Bay, thus making it the ideal place for kayaking, surfing and sport fishing. Travel a few miles north to the Matachen Bay and explore village life of Puerto Vallarta. There are also internet facilities and good coffee shops that you can delight in. Travel to the North of Puerto Vallarta and visit Bucerias. The sand here is a shade of gold, which stretches out for miles. Bucerias is an ideal beach for a family picnic. Lie on the beach all afternoon; grab a lounge chair or a palapa if you desire shade. There is plenty of space here for all kinds of activities.

Bucerias is known as the “place of the divers,” and if you’re lucky you might find giant oysters here. The constant breeze keeps Bucerias cool even in the hot summers. The town right next to the beach will also offer you an insight into the Mexican culture.
