Bahia de Banderas (20°39'N., 105°30'W.) is a deep water bay with plenty of good water until approximately 1.5 miles from shore. Berthing is suitable only for frigates or smaller vessels. The bay is entered between Punta de Mita, on the N side, and Cabo Corrientes, 23 miles SSW. Puerto Vallarta lies at the E end of this large and deep bay.
