Esta publicación también está disponible en: Español

Newsweek writer Daniel Avery has compiled his top 10 lists of best gay beaches across the globe, and Puerto Vallarta’s Playa Los Muertos comes in at number two.

In Avery’s article, “10 BEST GAY BEACHES IN THE WORLD” he writes “One of the largest gay beaches in Latin America, Playa Los Muertos tops many best-of lists. It gets it’s ghoulish name from the fact that the area was a cemetery before the graves were moved and the area redeveloped as a beach.  Unsurprisingly, it’s sometimes just referred to as “Blue Chairs,” the name of a popular beachfront resort on the Los Muertos’ southern end.”

The beach is located in what is called – Zona Romantica – Puerto Vallarta’s gay district – filled with dance clubs, more than 20 gay and friendly bars, saunas, LGBT hotels, gay boat tours, cabarets, a gay beach, a gay bar hopping tour, and a thriving arts and culture scene.

It’s one of many accolades that Puerto Vallarta has achieved as a LGBT destination.
