Puerto Vallarta and Cabo Corrientes are set to benefit from enhanced maritime mobility with the construction of the new Las Peñas pier at Camarones Beach. Announced by Governor Pablo Lemus, this ambitious project aims to modernize the area while preserving its charm, supporting both locals and tourists alike.
Located near Hotel Rosita, where Uruguay Street meets the ocean in the 5 de Diciembre neighborhood, the pier will feature a design inspired by the iconic Los Muertos Pier. Spanning 140 meters, it will include a metal canopy, pedestrian lighting, benches, and a spacious viewing point for stunning coastal vistas. With an investment of 430 million pesos, Las Peñas promises to become a new focal point for Puerto Vallarta.
Governor Lemus emphasized the importance of harmonizing the city’s urban image, particularly in the historic center, to evoke its traditional charm. “We want Puerto Vallarta to reflect the memories of those who grew up here – white facades, tiled roofs, and a unified aesthetic that enhances its appeal for visitors,” he stated.
The new pier is part of a broader maritime connectivity plan that includes 12 docks throughout the region. Six are already completed, and six more, including Las Peñas, are underway. The project also involves the rehabilitation of piers in Las Ánimas, Quimixto, and Yelapa, and the construction of new docks in Mismaloya, Chimo, Tehuamixtle Bay, and Barra de Navidad.
With a total state investment of 872 million pesos, this initiative is designed to improve maritime transportation across Jalisco, linking key destinations in Puerto Vallarta, Cabo Corrientes, and even neighboring Nayarit. The Las Peñas pier will serve as a critical stopover for nautical routes connecting the northern part of Banderas Bay to Puerto Vallarta, enhancing accessibility for locals, workers, and tourists.
Governor Lemus’s vision underscores the state’s commitment to sustainable growth and regional connectivity. By revitalizing the area’s maritime infrastructure, Jalisco aims to cement Puerto Vallarta’s reputation as a world-class destination while honoring its rich cultural heritage.
