Going to PV with my wife for our anniversary. Any suggestions for places to run/swim that are safe?
Tough place to ocean swim…got 10 min in and had to exit due to constant stings from barely visible jellyfish. Can mountain bike; did all running on soft sand-streets completely unsafe… not a fan of PV…
Thanks. Figured as much. Looking forward to going there from a vacation perspective, but I sense training outide of the hotel fitness center is limited and/or unsafe.
There is a track in PV. As I recall, it’s pretty much right across the street from the Sheraton Buganvilias. I saw a lot of people running on it. It also seemed that you could run on the sidewalks pretty well, although I ended up doing all my running on the treadmill (we were not staying that close to downtown). As for OW swimming, it probably depends where you are. We stayed at Dreams PV, and you could do some okay OW swimming there. The waves were not that bad when we were there, although I know they can be.
Where are you staying in PV? My wife and I stayed there in January at the Riu Palace near Nuevo Vallarta, up around the bay. I had 4 wonderful runs that week, each of about 9 miles, in both directions from the hotel. I never felt any safety concerns, as you rarely get outside of the tourist areas.
If you are near downtown PV, however, you’re on your own…can’t help you for that area.
