    1. We just want to clarify that the beaches in Puerto Vallarta are not closed. Everyone has a right to an opinion, but the facts cannot be changed. There is one very small portion of beach to the north of La Cruz that has been closed and a legal battle is happening, this is a protest post. But the reality is that 99% of the beaches crossing the states of Jalisco and Nayarit are open, free access, as required by federal law. We will let readers decide if All Inclusive is not considered the service industry or not, but they make up the smallest percentage of hotel rooms in Puerto Vallarta.

    2. David we respect your passion for open beaches and even welcome you to write an article on the problem as you see it, however we don’t want people being misinformed either and believing that there is no beach access in Puerto Vallarta, because that was your statement and we can both agree that there is beach access in Puerto Vallarta.

    3. Well yes Vallarta has open beaches even if some hotels have closed access to the public. I have 26 years here and 18 years with first surf shop in this part of Mexico. We have almost no access to the surf breaks we had before land grab by Dine. Not sure you know what you are talking about concerning our breaks. Also all inclusive resorts are every where. The compounds at 4 season nearly impossible to access. The marina at La Cruz closed off public beach to the locals. I ran first whale charter for 15 years. No one follows the law
      Dine is criminal in its La Lancha control. No umbrellas no coolers no pets no kids. Who made them owners of public beach . I understand you are promoting PV and only run postive news. I on the other hand have seen the damage that has been done here to the tourism. Here on this part of the bay con dinero bale el perro. Ventanas del Mar never happened here.

    4. I think that is poor city management and poor enforcement of federal law. But we do welcome you to write some information for us and we will happily publish it, we are community news and accept news and opinions to be published from everyone.

    5. Yes no enforcement of Federal law. Bucerias has access and very well laid out. Heading north to Punta Mita
      The entire coast line is closed with chain link fences. Our old access to La Lancha which was along side a lagoon which is a Federal zone has been illegally fenced off by Dine. There is a current complain to SCT about this illegal action taken by this development company. So sad to see Mexico’s beautiful natural resources control by companies who have no reguard for the public or the effect this has on tourism. I lived 15 years in Cabo and watched as the same thing happen there. Cabo managed to make parking areas to all their famed beaches before the land developers closed all access. Will send you link on SCT case. FYI
