Delicious fish tacos served right out on the street. When you're done pick up some churros for desert from the street vendor that fries them up while you wait (about half a block south of the restaurant).

Purchase Mexican wares and test your negotiating skills. The vendors here love to haggle, and if you’re skilled, you can get some good deals

Tours

For whale watching (winter months), we highly recommend the Zodiac tours with Vallarta Adventures. The zodiac is a bit more expensive than the big boats, but they’re smaller and more nimble. They’re also allowed to get a little closer to the whales than the big boats can. Vallarta Adventures has some other fun tours as well.
