Located between Acapulco and Puerto Vallarta, Manzanillo offers two beautiful bays with 4 mile (6 km) long crescent shaped beaches which offer beautiful sunsets!
The best Manzanillo beach hotels offer great service and amenities and of course beaches. So great in fact that the movie "10" with Bo Dereck and Dudley Moore was filmed at the famous Las Hadas By Brisas Hotel. Manzanillo is known internationally for deep sea fishing making it a best waterfront destination! Sports fishermen come from around the world for its yearly sailfish tournament.
Santiago Bay, a few miles from the vacation beach town of Manzanillo lures scuba divers and snorkelers with its sunken cargo ship and reefs. There are plenty of fish throughout the bay making for a great place for explorations. Fairly calm water and a four mile beach in the bay makes it a fairly safe area for swimming. There are also two fantastic golf courses in the area for golf enthusiasts. Manzanillo is a beautiful waterfront destination for romantic couples or families seeking a great Mexico beach vacation with plenty to do!
