Playa La Boquita

Manzanillo, Mexico

About 9 kilometers from our hotel in Manzanillo is this beautiful, family-style beach called Playa La Boquita.

Since we wanted a calm bay to swim in, we grabbed a taxi outside our hotel grounds and asked him to take us there.

Normally the price would have been 150Pesos (about $8USD), but we bargained for 100Pesos (just over $5).

On this map you can see the location of our hotel and the beach we wanted to visit.

The bay is large and lovely.

Sweet Playa La Boquita, Manzanillo, Mexico

Lots of restaurants on the beach

Here you can see the coast line of the bay and there are restaurants, shops and hotels from here all the way to the end!

Luckily there are no skyscrapers and the view is easy.

Here is the sparkling bay with some boats moored.

Looking from the beach here, our hotel is beyond those hills on the left, in another bay.

La Boquita is a family beach so there must be sea toys available!

Donuts, alligators, sharks, beach balls, soccer balls, buckets and sand toys are all for sale here.

Having a good smile at the beach!

Here we are, relaxing at our restaurant table, kind of easing into our beach day.

Some friends from the States will be meeting up with us later.

Such clear water!

Here you can see that the sea is so clear the tiny fish a couple of feet below are in plain sight.

The kids near us were squealing with delight and silliness.

They loved being in the sea.

Fresh fruit sold on Playa La Boquita, Manzanillo, Mexico

Vendor selling fresh mango

As with most beach vendors in Mexico, there are a variety of products to purchase from them.

This man had fresh mango and we could choose which plate we wanted.

For 50 Pesos, I chose the mangos that looked the sweetest to me but some like the tart flavor of a mango that is younger, not quite ripe. He had them both.

There is a bag of ground chili flakes and some lime that is a common preparation for fresh fruit here in this country.

Personally, I like mine, plain, sweet and natural - maybe with some lime.

Juicy, sweet mango

 

 

 

 

Yum.

We shared the mango with our friends. For less than $3USD there was plenty of fruit for the 4 of us.

Guacamole on Playa La Boquita, Manzanillo, Mexico

Guacamole at Eureka Restaurant

Guacamole is another very common Mexican dish.

Fresh avocados, onions, tomatoes, lime and sometimes garlic and eaten with chips.

DEEE-licious!

Beach vendor, Playa La Boquita, Manzanillo, Mexico

Beach vendor

This vendor sells fruit drinks over shaved ice, ice cream bars, some chips and a few beach toys.

One would think that these guys don't make much money, but we spoke with one of our vendor friends on Chacala Beach, in Nayarit, and he said he made 10,000 Pesos one Sunday. Of course, he hustles, appears every day and is famous for his fresh coconut treats.

Menu at Restaurante Eureka, Playa La Boquita, Manzanillo, Mexico

One menu at Eureka Restaurante

The Eureka Restaurante sells Red Snapper in various preparations, shrimp with their casings on or peeled, octopus and assorted cocktails.

If you are ever in Manzanillo, this beach is well worth seeing.

We'll go back again!
