The South Shore region of Puerto Vallarta features neighborhoods including Mismaloya, Boca de Tomatlan, Punta Negra, Garza Blanca and Playa Las Gemelas, known for sweeping ocean views, soft sand beaches and lovely homes tucked into the lush hillside of the Sierra Madre mountains, all within 15 to 25 minutes from Old Town Puerto Vallarta.
Most South Shore Puerto Vallarta real estate features single-family homes and luxurious villas, with some mid-to-high luxury condominium developments along the shorefront. Residents here enjoy the peaceful serenity of quiet tropical living, visiting the beautiful Vallarta Botanical Gardens, taking small water taxis to lovely beaches only accessible by boat, snorkeling around the famous Los Arcos Marine Park or just enjoying a brilliant evening sunset over Banderas Bay from their terrace.
