The Costa Riviera

Stretching from San Blas in the north, down through the Bay of Banderas and Puerto Vallarta, to Careyes on the Costalegre in the south lies a coast line famous for pristine beaches, stunning cliffs, secluded coves and verdant jungle landscape placed before the Sierra Madre Range. This is the heart of Mexico's Pacific Gold Coast or Mexican Riviera. We call it simply - The Costa Riviera.

The Vallarta Multiple Listing Service (MLS) categorizes properties along the coast (from north to south) into following geographic areas:
