For a remote beach escape: Yelapa

If you’re looking to really get away and bask on a beach, Yelapa in Jalisco is the place to go. The hamlet is located in a quiet cove in one of the largest bays in the world, right between the sea and a jungle, and it really only can be accessed by boat. Spending time on the beach is the top priority in this town for both friendly locals and visitors, and people can set up with a book in a hammock, take a dip, snorkel and parasail. Travelers to Puerto Vallarta, which is located about 20 miles north, might choose to just make a day trip of Yelapa, but those looking for pure, uninterrupted beachside relaxation can make a full vacation out of Yelapa.
