As a favorite destination among families, honeymooning love-bugs, college students, gay couples, retired folks and more, Puerto Vallarta makes sure to keep its streets clean and its safety record in top form. Crime rates are practically non-existent, and what little crime exists is of a petty nature. Puerto Vallarta even has an extremely helpful tourist police force to help out travelers with any problems that may arise.
In terms of personal safety, you don't have to go out of your way- focus on having fun! Basically, just keep an eye on your belongings, don't walk around flashing wads of cash, avoid dodgy-looking unlit areas, don't leave your cell phone and camera out on your towel at the beach- you know, common sense stuff.
