Yelapa is a hidden paradise easily accessible by boat from Puerto Vallarta. Located in the state of Jalisco in Mexico this small fishing village has also been a peaceful retreat for the rich and famous including Bob Dylan, Jack Nicholson, Peter Fonda, and Dennis Hopper. Although none of them were there the day we visited, the village’s charm was more than enough to keep us happy.

April 30, 2014 at 2:45 pmI like seeing photos of Mexico. I want to visit but my Partner is not so sure. I’ll convince him one day. Until then I will read blogs. The water would be too cold for me for sure. Living in North Qld. I am used to warm water. 🙂

April 30, 2014 at 12:12 amI am not surprised, it is a boaters town. Did you cruise there?

April 29, 2014 at 9:38 amI scrolled through the photos before reading the description. I thought, this looks like my kind of town. Then I saw that it is a place that celebrities have visited which both made me cringe and validated my thought at the same time. Looks like a cool place.

April 30, 2014 at 12:08 amWe didn’t see any celebrities, nor did we know they had been there until after we got home.
