South Shore
The South Shore is where the foothills of the Sierra Madre meets the ocean, creating spectacular real estate opportunities for both home and condominiums with fantastic views of the bay and back to Puerto Vallarta. When you combine the boundless green jungle with the surf-splashed rocks of a coast interspersed with private coves, add a place to view the constantly changing palette of the bay, you have the South Shore, where rugged, low-density residences, as well as villas and other homes, dot the coastline on the curving road toward Barra de Navidad.
The Puerto Vallarta South Shore begins where Conchas Chinas ends. From there it runs along the coast passing the residential developments of Garza Blanca and Sierra del Mar to Boca de Tomatlan, where the highway turns east and heads up into the Sierra Madre mountains, heading south to El Tuito. This is where the region’s first gated hillside communities were built. Today, there are a number of them, offering mostly single-family residences or villas.
The coastline has homes built along the cliffs and beach where its available, but condominium development has also been very popular. The views are so good that often real estate prices on the hillside rival those of the oceanfront homes.
