We were at Destiladeras Beach north of Puerto Vallarta by Ranco Banderas in January and it was pretty quiet. The beach was really nice too, powdery sand and the you could walk out quite a ways in the ocean and it did not get too deep. The only thing is, there was a little bit of garbage around, not too much but some. I still think it was a great beach, wish we had discovered at the beginning of our trip instead of on our last day.
