Tender drops you at the fully walkable marina. Beaches and the Arch are reached by water taxi, agree the fare in pesos first.

What to eat

Fish tacos, ceviche and smoked marlin; marina taquerias beat the resort restaurants.

Budget notes

Touristy and mid-to-high priced; pesos get better value than USD.

Tips

Tender port, mind the last-tender time. Expect timeshare and vendor pitches near the marina.
