Boca de Tomatlán Real Estate For Sale

Boca de Tomatlán is the small fishing village at the mouth of the Tomatlán river, about 16 km (10 miles) south of downtown Puerto Vallarta on the highway to Barra de Navidad. It's the departure point for the water taxis (pangas) that run further south along the South Shore to Las Ánimas, Quimixto, and Yelapa — a working harbor as much as a residential area.


Boca de Tomatlán real estate today is a mix of land, houses on the hillside above the cove, and a small number of condos, priced from under $100,000 USD for a lot to several million for larger hillside homes with bay views. It sits alongside Mismaloya and the rest of Puerto Vallarta's South Shore corridor.

Where Boca de Tomatlán Is

Boca de Tomatlán sits inside the municipality of Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, roughly 16 km south of downtown at the mouth of the Tomatlán river, on the highway toward Barra de Navidad. In Mexico Life's MLS feed it's the community "Boca de Tomatlan" inside the "South Shore" area, alongside Mismaloya, Conchas Chinas, and Garza Blanca.

The village doubles as the boat terminal for the coves further south — Las Ánimas, Quimixto, and Yelapa — none of which have road access. If you're picturing a home reachable only by water taxi, that's the stretch of coast south of here, not Boca de Tomatlán itself, which sits right on the highway.

WHY LIVE IN BOCA DE TOMATLÁN

ON THE HIGHWAY, NOT OFF THE GRID

Unlike the boat-access coves further south, Boca de Tomatlán is a normal drive from downtown Puerto Vallarta — village life with the city 20 minutes away.

A WORKING HARBOR

Fishing pangas and water taxis share the cove, giving the village a working-port character rather than a resort-strip one.

GATEWAY TO THE SOUTH SHORE COVES

If Las Ánimas, Quimixto, or Yelapa are part of your Mexico life, Boca de Tomatlán is where that boat ride starts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Boca de Tomatlán the same as the "Tomatlán" MLS area?
No, and this trips people up. "Tomatlán" is a separate MLS area covering inland communities like Cajón de Peña and La Cruz de Loreto, well south along the coast in a different municipality. Boca de Tomatlán is a South Shore village inside the municipality of Puerto Vallarta, 16 km from downtown. This page covers Boca de Tomatlán only.
Can I drive to Boca de Tomatlán?
Yes. It's directly on the highway to Barra de Navidad, about 16 km / 10 miles south of downtown Puerto Vallarta — a normal drive, not a boat trip.
Does Boca de Tomatlán have condos?
A small amount of condo inventory exists (one active listing as of this page's last update). Most of what's for sale is land and houses.
How do I get to Yelapa from here?
Boca de Tomatlán is the main water-taxi departure point south to Las Ánimas, Quimixto, and Yelapa — none of which have road access. See our Yelapa real estate page for what the MLS shows (or doesn't show) further down that route.
