Public Beach Access in Nuevo Vallarta
Nuevo Vallarta has three main beach access points. The northernmost is at the Etc. Beach Club. Alongside the beach club is a footpath that leads to the beach.

The Etc. Beach Club is a great place to spend a Sunday afternoon which are usually really busy. Order up some cold beers and a plate of nachos while lounging under a palapa. When it gets too hot, go for a swim.
This is the footpath that leads to the beach. Showers are available to rinse off before you head home.
The beach in front of Etc. The picture does not do it justice. I took it in the early morning just after a massive rainstorm which dumped a lot of debris on the beach. This is one of my Favorite beaches in the city.

The parking lot is torn up right now for some sewer construction so access to ETC by car might be restricted. OTOH take the NV ATM bus and get off at the first stop by The Marriott/Casa Magna and walk 2 blocks north to the access point.
Thanks for the tip. Hopefully it will be repaired soon.
