Coconut Vendors in Nuevo Vallarta

Coconuts for Sale

The beaches in Puerto Vallarta are filled with vendors of every type of merchandise and food you could imagine: jewelry, blankets, artwork, fish on a stick, shrimp on a stick, even coconut milk.

 

To get the coconut milk the vendor whacks the top of the coconut off with a machete. He then pours the milk into a plastic bag and puts a straw into it so that the customer can drink it. They were charging $40 pesos for fresh coconut milk that day.

 

We took these pictures out in Nuevo Vallarta during Spring Break.

Here is the map to the beach.
