More Mexican Riviera ports
MexicoCabo San Lucas
A tender-only port where El Arco, Lover's Beach and Medano Beach are a short boat ride or walk from the marina, but the clock (ship time vs local time) and the tender queue are the things that trip people up.
MexicoPuerto Vallarta
Ships dock at a terminal about 5 km north of the Malecón, so almost everyone takes a 10-20 minute taxi, Uber or bus into the old town, and the clock is the real trap: Puerto Vallarta is one or two hours ahead of California, and many ships do not change to local time.
