Playa
Principal
The stretch
of sand is narrow. The water calm and the beach backed by rustling
palms. Mexican families flock here on Sunday and holidays to wade
and paddle in the shallows. And local fishermen cast their nets at
the sheltered west side of the bay or launch small and colorfully
painted boats.
Begins at
the jutting rocks Below the hotel Santa Fe. Here the shoreline begins
curving toward the south and increasingly faces the open ocean. The
surf gets rougher, and swimmers exercise caution
Playa
Puerto Angelito and Playa Manzanillo
With small beaches, submerged rock formations and close-in shelves of
coral, these sheltered spots are ideal for snorkeling and scuba diving.
They
can be reached either by car or taxi, or by boat reached from playa
principal or a circuitous concrete footpath.
Playa
Carrizalillo
One of
the most beautiful beaches in Puerto. Some steps to get down &
to get back up. Submerged
rock formations and close-in shelves of coral, these sheltered spots
are ideal for snorkeling and scuba diving.
Is the best beach to swim.
Playa
Zicatela
Considered
being one of the worlds best surfing beaches. The wide expanse of golden-colored
sand stretches for miles, and the thundering pacific breakers crashing
onto it are impressive indeed. The biggest waves occur between July
and November. Surfers from all over the world congregate at Zicatela.
Spectators line the beach to watch these daredevils finesse the “Pipeline”,
a long tubular swell of water. Needless to say, swim here at your own
risk.
Playa
Bacocho
Another strip of
sand, waves and undertow make it better for sunning and hiking than
swimming.
Manialtepec
Lagoon
About 6 kilometers west of Puerto, which is encircled by mangroves and
home to a rich variety of wetland bird species and tropical vegetation.
Here
you can charter a boat from the various restaurants along the lagoon
and take a sunset trip to “La Barra”.
If
the conditions are right, you will be able to enjoy a luminous spectacle,
because the water is fluorescent because of the plankton. It is recommended
that you experience this phenomenon at night, if the conditions are
