Less crowds, amazing weather, and unique local events make spring travel ideal.
If you’re looking for the perfect time to visit Puerto Vallarta, spring might just be your golden ticket. Stretching from March to early June, spring in PV offers a sweet combination of sunshine, manageable crowds, and vibrant culture—making it one of the best-kept secrets among frequent travelers and smart vacation planners.
1. Perfect Beach Weather, Minus the Intensity
Springtime brings consistently warm, sunny days without the extreme heat or humidity of summer. Daytime temperatures average around 82°F to 88°F (28°C to 31°C), ideal for lounging on the beach, exploring the Malecón, or dining al fresco. The ocean is also crystal clear and calm, inviting for swimmers, paddleboarders, and sunset sail lovers alike.
2. Fewer Tourists, Better Prices
Compared to the peak winter season, spring brings fewer crowds, shorter lines at top restaurants, and more space on the sand. Vacation rentals are still in high demand but often at more accessible rates—especially if you book early through PVRPV. If you’re after peace, comfort, and local charm, this is your moment.
3. Local Events & Festivities
Spring isn’t short on cultural action. Depending on when you visit, you may catch:
- 🌈 Vallarta Pride – Held in May, this LGBTQ+ celebration includes a vibrant parade, beach parties, art exhibits, and more.
- 🎭 Mayo Fest – Celebrating Puerto Vallarta’s birthday, expect free concerts, fireworks, and community events.
- 🍴 PV Restaurant Week (mid-May to early June) – Indulge in discounted gourmet menus from top local restaurants.
These events offer a unique chance to experience PV like a local.

4. Nature at Its Best
If you’re into hiking or eco-tours, spring is ideal. The trails from Boca de Tomatlán to Las Ánimas are green and dry, and it’s also a great time to spot wildlife, visit the Marietas Islands, or enjoy a jungle canopy tour.
5. Ideal for Digital Nomads and Remote Workers
Need a change of scenery while working remotely? Spring in PV provides excellent Wi-Fi-equipped rentals, café culture, and a laid-back atmosphere perfect for productivity and beach breaks. With fewer tourists, you’ll find plenty of quiet spots to work during the day and explore in the evening.
