The Gay Scene in Puerto Vallarta
- Puerto Vallarta has one of the largest and easiest-to-explore gay scenes in Mexico. Most gay nightlife is concentrated in Zona Romántica, particularly around Lázaro Cárdenas, Olas Altas and the surrounding streets.
- The district is compact, so you can move between many of the main bars, clubs and restaurants on foot.
- During Bear Week the entire neighbourhood attracts a large international crowd, with daytime beach events followed by happy hours, drag shows, bear bars and late-night clubs.
- Los Muertos Beach is the centre of the daytime gay scene.
- The southern end of the beach around Blue Chairs and Mantamar attracts a predominantly gay crowd, with beach clubs, bars, sunbeds and restaurants running along the waterfront.
- For nightlife, Lázaro Cárdenas and the streets surrounding it form the main late-night gay district.
- You will find everything from small cocktail and video bars to drag venues, bear bars and large dance clubs.
- The main nightlife area and gay beach are close together.
- From most hotels in Zona Romántica you can walk to the beach during the day, return to your hotel, then head back out to the bars at night without relying heavily on taxis.
- During the final weeks of January the scene becomes much busier with visitors arriving for Bearadise, Beef Dip and the other bear events running around the resort.
