Yelapa has a very pretty beach and a cute small town only accessible by boat. Take the orange bus AWAY FROM TOWN to the end of the line (Boca de Tamatlan) then catch the water taxi. Get to the water taxi by 9:30am to catch the 10am boat. Be sure while you are there to either hike or rent a horse up to the waterfall.

DO NOT use this company under any circumstances. They are crooks who will steal your credit card information.
Book your car rental online for very cheap rates (excluding taxes and insurance). BY LAW, all car rentals have minimum liability insurance as required my Mexican law. Granted, it's very minimal and may not be enough if you cause a major accident. If you pay with your AMEX card, you can decline all other coverages as well, but they will place a hold on your card of about $3,000 USD. I used my AMEX Platinum which has no spending limit and so its not a problem. Verify first with your credit card company that their coverage extends to Mexico. Note: the credit card only covers damages to your car and your passengers and does not cover additional liability.
