Gay Cruising is part and parcel of every day life in Puerto Vallarta. It begins during the day at Playa Los Meurtos, where guys check out the latest hunk in Andrew Christian trunks! Just beyond Los Muertos you will find, Playa Conchas Chinas, popular with those seeing a more intimate rendezvous among the shallow outcrops. It is also much less touristy and free from the many beach hawkers selling everything from Oysters to Cigars.
The Spartacus Spa is Puerto Vallarta’s largest crusing area. It is clean and modern and is spread out over seaveral floors with a rooftop pool, steam room, large dark room, cruising area and private cabins. Staff are friendly and will give you a tour of the facilities. Depending on the time of year the early afternoons can be a little quiet. The busiest time is when local guys finish work so post 7pm you will find it extra busy.
Tip: Make sure you bring our ID with you to enter, no matter how old. Also bring your own flip flops! Post work (7pm to 9pm is the busiest time)
