Do love deep sea fishing? Or perhaps your a yacht enthusiast? Or maybe not yet, but you like the sound of these? If so, Puerto Vallarta real estate is one of the ideal choices for you. Located half way down Mexico’s Pacific Coast, this beautiful resort city offers some of the best access to oceanfront activities and a luxury lifestyle.

 

One example of Puerto Vallarta’s attraction for those who love the ocean is the Riviera Nayarit Fishing Tournament (Riviera Nayarit is the name given to the areas extending north of Puerto Vallarta. This tournament is considered by many to be one of the best available, and is continually growing and improving. The event focuses on tuna, marlin and sailfish.

 

There are several property options for close access to oceanfront activity. Perhaps the most directly suitable choice is the Marina Vallarta, which allows property owners the luxury of mooring their boat virtually in front of their Puerto Vallarta condo. This upscale community also includes restaurants and trendy shopping. If you are looking for something a little more modest in price, within a few blocks a Puerto Vallarta home or lot can be found for very good deals.

 

Of course, the oceanfront can also be enjoyed from many different parts of the city, and you don’t have to live right in the marina community to do so. Luxury condos overlooking the historic town center or in the newer neighborhood of Nuevo Vallarta are a favorite for expats. Many well-built homes in need of a personal touch and a renovation can also be found for good prices. For those who enjoy luxury at its best, high-end homes with town and ocean views offer a lifestyle rivalled in very few places.

 

Deep sea fishing is not the only way to enjoy the oceanfront in Puerto Vallarta. Sailing, windsurfing, diving and snorkeling are just a few other possibilities. If you are someone who enjoys a good walk, there’s nothing like strolling along the boardwalk past all the restaurants and bars, enjoying a view of the ocean on the other side. If you are someone who loves the ocean, you will probably get a few glimpses of wildlife that few others notice!

Consider Puerto Vallarta real estate for your oceanfront lifestyle.

Holding a newly-hatched baby sea turtle

Holding a newly-hatched baby sea turtle in your hands seems like a privilege too great to be so openly available, but helping baby sea turtles hatch and make their way to the ocean has become more than just an unbelievable wonder; it has become the responsibility of the race whose actions has put these brave and majestic creatures on the endangered species list: the human race.

Every single species of sea turtle is considered threatened or endangered, which means it’s more important than ever for the fledgling populations still surviving to grow. In Riviera Nayarit, a stretch of pristine beaches along Mexico’s Pacific coast, I visited Platanitos Turtle Camp at Playa Las Tortugas, a place where humans are making a difference — some as volunteer “campers” and some in the lap of luxury.

Gordon Godfrey, the director of development and full-time resident of Playa Las Tortugas, gave me a tour of the property, which is located in the midst of an idyllic palm tree reserve.

Volunteers can make their way to Platanitos Turtle Camp and stay, surf, eat and sleep for just $10 per day. Some young folks come and participate for college credit, but anyone 18 or older can come, with a minimum commitment of 10 days. It’s not all fun and games, though. It’s hard work.
