The iconic Playa Los Muertos pier, one of Puerto Vallarta’s most recognizable landmarks and a favorite spot for both locals and tourists, has been without lighting for several days. The outage has caused concern among merchants, service providers, and visitors who frequent the area.
Without electricity, people walking along the pier at night have been forced to use their cell phone flashlights to move around safely. Business owners say the situation not only affects the city’s image as a tourist destination but also poses a safety risk for those visiting after dark.
Local hoteliers and shop owners have urged the Puerto Vallarta City Council to restore the pier’s lighting immediately to prevent accidents and protect the area’s reputation. They emphasize that Playa Los Muertos pier, known for its panoramic views of Banderas Bay and its famous sunsets, is one of the most photographed and visited places in Puerto Vallarta.
Residents are asking authorities to act quickly, noting that the lack of proper lighting could discourage evening tourism and impact the businesses that rely on the steady flow of visitors to this waterfront icon.
