The little town of El Anclote where the El Anclote Condos and restaurants are located (and various other condo complexes) is not recommended for beach goers nor children, ok for surfers.

El Anclote Condominiums in Punta Mita....gorgeous views of the Bay of Banderas! A gated community with tennis court and wonderful pool & spa. Somewhat isolated (45 minutes to Puerto Vallarta); a rental car is nice to have (but expensive); luckily, taxis and buses are plentiful. Several excellent restaurants on the beach just a short walk away! We especially liked the... more
