Playa Las Gemelas, or “The Twins Beach,” is a pair of small beaches just a few miles from downtown. Moving south from Zona Romantica, travelers will discover more of Puerto Vallarta’s “hidden” beaches, frequented mostly by locals or travelers in the know. Their house talent, Sassy Queens, is top notch entertainment. Top Sky Bar on (surprise) the top floor of Almar has views as incredible as their food and creative drinks. Two other hotels are right at the gay beach - Blue Chairs, which sits on the gay beach, and Mantamar Beach Club, part of Almar Resort right up the hill. The hotels are all within easy walking distance to the gay beach. Puerto Vallarta also has its share of great LGBTQ hotels, including Hotel Mercurio, Casa Cupula, and Pinata PV, all of which are gay-owned. The newer Ella Bar, gives you “Divas” throughout the decades from Ella Fitzgerald and Barbara Streisand to Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, along with delicious tapas. Reinas, which means Queens, is devoted to all things royal as you will see from the decor. Flamingos and La Margarita Bar are smaller but popular bars in the area and La Noche’s private atmosphere made it Tamar Braxton’s spot to go while she was in town filming Braxton Family Values. Industry is next to what may be the city’s second-largest gay nightclub, CC Slaughters. Two new upscale gay nightclubs opened just this past year, Code, and Industry, which bills itself as Puerto Vallarta’s largest gay nightclub. Try the Vallarta Gay Bar Hopping Tour for an easy lay of the land. Multiple gay bars and nightclubs are in a block radius of that crossing. The Gayborhood (Zona Romantica) in Puerto Vallarta comes together at the intersection of Lazaro Cardenas and Ignacio L. Blue Chairs, Sapphire Ocean Club, Ritmos Beach Club (often referred to as ‘green chairs’), and Mantamar Beach Club, a favorite of actress Zendaya, all offer drink, food and chair options for LGBTQ beach goers. If you want to hang at the gay beach (just south of the famous Playa Los Muertos Pier), you can check-in at one of the exclusive LGBT Beach clubs that front the gay beach area, or just lay a towel on the sand for free.
