 La
Manzanilla (pop.-3500) is a tranquil little fishing village
located on the southeast end of the bahía de Tenacatita
21 km north of Melaque. The beautiful crescent shaped
beach circles towards Boca de Iguanas to the north.
Mountainous jungle borders the beach which is lined with
coconut palms and tropical foliage. A few hotels,
private apartments and guest houses are available for those
that chose to stay. There are several fully
equipped stores, cyber cafe, boutiques and some first class
restaurants. Local buses travel
here from Barra and Melaque bus depots every
2 hours. There is a
rodeo at La Manzanilla the first week of February each year. The
golden sand beach is only 2km from Mex 200 highway at mile
marker fourteen. Some people confuse
La Manzanilla with Manzanillo the large city 81km to the
south. Manzanillo city is actually in the state of
Colima, while La Manzanilla is in Jalisco. There seems
to be a trend to drop the "La" which you will notice on some
highway signs. The village of La Manzanilla was named
after the Manzanilla tree that once grew abundantly here.
