Guests staying at Resorts by Pinnacle not only enjoy spacious luxury suites in the Romantic Zone, but also have easy access to the best of Puerto Vallarta, including the iconic Malecon. Along the Malecon, visitors can admire Puerto Vallarta’s famous bronze sculptures that line the walkway. However, if you shift your gaze to the beach, you will discover another form of impressive sculptures – the sandcastles of Puerto Vallarta.

Sand artists dedicate days, weeks, and countless hours to creating these incredible sandcastles and works of art for the public to enjoy. Their creations are often inspired by the natural beauty of Puerto Vallarta, the changing holiday seasons, or religious themes. Regardless of the subject matter, the use of sand as a medium is truly impressive, with many sculptures exceeding the size of your average Puerto Vallarta taxi.

When visiting the Malecon sandcastles during your Puerto Vallarta vacation, consider leaving a small donation in the marked boxes for the artists, especially if you plan to take photos. These sand artists rely on donations to continue their public art projects, so any contribution is greatly appreciated.
