Mexico’s Central Pacific Coast includes major resorts such as Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo, plus miles of unspoiled coastline dotted with fishing towns, surfing villages and remote hideaways.

There’s plenty to see and do, both on the coast or inland:

• Golf – There are some spectacular courses in this region, including the Jack Nicklaus course at the Four Seasons Punta Mita (the optional 19th hole is on a natural island) and the breathtakingly scenic course at the Tamarindo near Manzanillo.
• Fishing – Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo are excellent destinations for sports fishermen. Some of the best sailfish fishing in the world is said to be found around Manzanillo, with November to March being the best season for sailfish. Dorado, marlin and other fish can be caught year-round.
• Snorkeling and diving – The deep blue waters off the Pacific coast offer some excellent snorkeling and diving opportunities. The most popular location for diving is Puerto Vallarta, where many dive schools operate from the marina or downtown areas. Snorkeling tours depart from the town daily and take in some of the scenic bays where you can observe the abundant marine life.
• Exclusive hideways  – Hollywood stars and business tycoons (we can’t mention any names!) escape the limelight by visiting some of this regions exclusive hideaway hotels.
