At night, a hopping scene. During the day, hot, but beautiful. Rent bikes and enjoy the scenery to the fullest!

the most fun is to bike the whole thing.I think it was like $5.00 for 4 hours and you can do the whole thing in that time. Easy ride!

The malecon was a short walk away from the Azteca Inn, where I stayed. Talk about a beautiful view! I walked virtually every morning to get some exercise and enjoy the view! Lots of foot traffic in the earlier mornings, so I never felt unsafe.

Long, wide sidewalk. Beachside. Nice statues, sculptures, cliff divers. When you get tired or hot walking just flag down a Pulmunia

Malecon and views from the city are nice – but I was not overly impressed. I rather go to the little market place at Playa Bruja more personality and price and places to eat.

A walk along the malecon serves many functions. It is a good exercise, especially if you pick up the pace. It has eccentric statutes to appreciate. If you are hungry, a spot of food stalls, which by the way is right in front of the rock divers. Last but not least, it is the spot to watch the sunset.

This was awesome to watch the cliff divers, but they expect you to pay to watch them. They will even follow you even though you gave the money to one jumper.

A bit disappointed compared to Puerto Vallarto. No accessibility to beach as it is all rocks, missed the sand sculptures, mimes,etc.

The malecon is not as spruced up or commercial as that in Puerto Vallarta. Rather it is a seawall several kilometers long, above the beach. At the north end is the Zona Dorada, the gold tourist zone. At the south end is the fishermen's beach. About midway are several palapa-style seafood restaurants. A pleasant walk one can enjoy with a... More
