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.
