Puerto Vallarta Today

Puerto Vallarta News

Puerto Vallarta news with a true city desk sensibility—fast, sober, and grounded in the Bay. We track what matters on both sides of Banderas Bay, from City Hall and the airport to the Malecón, Marina, and Zona Romántica, with an eye on tourism, public safety, development, and the cost of living for locals. When hurricanes threaten, earthquakes hit, or beach closures and road works disrupt daily life, we publish updates as they happen and link to original advisories, data, and public records. You’ll also find short explainers that unpack complex stories, plus weekly briefings for Vallarta and nearby communities like Bucerías and Nuevo Nayarit. Start with today’s top headlines, then dive into neighborhood coverage for the fuller picture. Vallarta Daily was born here—and our reporting still starts here.
