Beach Clubs in Riviera Nayarit
Keep in mind that Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit are on the same bay and share the same airport. Some people refer to the whole bay area as “Vallarta” or PV, but we will make a distinction between the two areas because Riviera Nayarit is in the state of Nayarit, and Puerto Vallarta is in the state of Jalisco. This way, depending on which side you’re staying you’ll be able to locate the best beach clubs and day passes closest to you.
