Playa Las Tortugas Vacation Rentals, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals

Playa Las Tortugas , or “Playa las Tortugas,” is located approximately 90 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta in the scenic state of Nayarit. It is a mostly residential area with some very beautiful homes located along a spectacular five-mile stretch of white sand beach that is perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Other outdoor recreational opportunities in or near Turtle Beach include boogie boarding, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, surfing, bird watching, whale watching and horseback riding on the beach. A protected estuary, which is home to hundreds of species of birds and other animals, is adjacent to the beach. Nearby is the tiny village of Platanitos, which is well known for their rustic seafood restaurants that prepare their specialty, a mesquite grilled fish. The area surrounding Turtle Beach has retained all the charm of Old Mexico, with its colorful hand-made talavera tiles, palapa roofs and roof-top terraces filled with red and orange bougainvillea, yet is a modern area with private villas with all the modern amenities. Turtle Beach is an easy drive to Puerto Vallarta, Bucerias, Punta de Mita and Sayulita.

Playa Las Tortugas Weather & Climate

The Central Pacific Coast of Mexico is surrounded by jungle and receives 345 days of sunshine per year. Located on the same latitude as the Hawaiian Islands, its sub-tropical climate is often compared to Hawaii's. Temperatures reach 90 degrees F (32 C) during the summer, along with high humidity, but at night, the onshore breeze from the Bay of Banderas brings cool air that makes for pleasant sleeping conditions. The rainy season is June through September, however, August and September are considered the two “rainy” months. On average, September has 15 wet days per month, while January has only two. Rain usually doesn’t start until late in the afternoon, leaving most of the day free for outdoor activities. The Bay of Banderas also offers shelter from harsh Pacific winds and hard weather in winter. December and January, the peak tourist season, are generally warm, sunny and dry, with comfortable, balmy nights.
