Escape the busy beaches and murky waters of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and head south of the city to find true peace and beauty at places like Playa Las Gemelas in the Conchas Chinas area. The beach is actually two beaches, which is where the name Las Gemelas (The Twins) actually comes from. They are both short stretches of near-perfect white sand lined by resorts like the Grand Park Royal Puerto Vallarta and the Condiminios Girasol Sur and are open to the public by entering a beach access point on the north beach.
