Historic center, attractive beaches

The historic downtown area of Manzanillo is also the focal point for the town’s principal economic engine: its commercial seaport. As you travel north, you begin to discover the resort areas and main shopping and social attractions located along the two principal bays that are separated by the Santiago peninsula—host to one of the most famous resorts of the town as well as some residential developments.  Check the map for reference and a perspective of its geography.

Well-connected by road and air

The town is host to one of Mexico’s most important commercial seaports, and also home to one of the country’s naval bases. It’s situated in state of Colima (one of Mexico’s smallest states) and is a 90-minute drive to the state’s capital, Colima city. A five-hour drive north on the scenic Highway 200 leads to Puerto Vallarta; a four-hour drive northeastward leads to Mexico’s second largest city—Guadalajara. Manzanillo’s international airport offers connections to Mexico City, and several US cities.  If you have a boat, Manzanillo offers options for mooring.

Foreign residents in Manzanillo

Although the town has a congregation of existing foreign residents settled here, the influx of new foreign residents has been hitherto modest; far lower than that of nearby Puerto Vallarta, for example; and this is an attractive quality of the location for some people seeking an oceanside location to live in Mexico.

Foreign residents living locally organize social events and participate in a range of activities; some do volunteer work locally helping various charities and social organizations in the locality.  While the local activities and cultural events are not as extensive as those found in Puerto Vallarta or Lake Chapala, for example, there is ample scope for residents to organize themselves and propel and shape the development of more events and activities in the locality.

Key attractions for foreign residents

When we researched what existing foreign residents like most about living in Manzanillo, they cited several characteristics that attracted them, which include:

• They enjoy living in a tranquil, safe, and authentic Mexican coastal town without the commercialization and extravagances of the more popular beachside resort locations in Mexico
• Manzanillo is an affordable beachside location: real estate prices have not escalated as steeply as they have in Mexico’s most popular resort areas and everyday living costs remain very affordable with easy access to authentic local markets and local stores
• The town offers plenty of everyday local services and amenities including shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, as well as affordable medical and health care services. Additional specialized services and amenities can be sought in Colima (90-minute drive) and Guadalajara (4-hour drive).
• Manzanillo is well-connected by modern highways and has an international airport with connections to some US cities. It’s also an important seaport, so if you have a boat, options exist for mooring and sailing here.

Warm winters, sultry summers

The climate in Manzanillo is typical of climates in other places along the Pacific coast—offering comfortably-warm fall and winter months, with increasingly hot and sultry weather during the spring and summer.  Some foreign residents use Manzanillo as a base for a second home and overwinter here, renting out their house in the summer months.  However, some have made Manzanillo their year-round home and make good use of swimming pools, ceiling fans, and air-conditioning to keep cool during the sultry summer season.

Discover more about Manzanillo

Manzanillo offers an affordable and authentic Mexican lifestyle by the coast without the high concentration of foreign residents that nearby Puerto Vallarta has, and without the higher costs that are often associated with places in Mexico that are already popular with foreign residents.

The port town of Manzanillo is situated onLiving places the Pacific coast of Mexico, about a four hour drive from Guadalajara and a five hour drive from Puerto Vallarta.

Living in Manzanillo

This authentic Mexican resort town has two principal areas: the resort bays either side of the Santiago peninsula, and the busy commercial area downtown, on the southside. Although Manzanillo is a busy and important port town on Mexico’s west coast, it still retains a tranquil, laid back atmosphere with an authentic Mexican feel about it.

Discovering Manzanillo

Manzanillo is situated on the Pacific coast in Mexico’s state of Colima.  It’s a 90-minute drive to the state’s capital, Colima city, and about a five-hour drive north to Puerto Vallarta; or a four hour drive east to reach Mexico’s second largest city—Guadalajara.

Although it’s a resort town, particularly popular with Mexican vacationers, Manzanillo doesn’t have the commercial feel of the country’s popular resorts and instead offers a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere that, similar to Mazatlán further north, exudes an authentic Mexican feel about it.

The historic downtown area is also the focal point for the town’s principal economic engine: it’s sea port. As you travel north, you begin to discover the resort areas and main shopping and social attractions located along the two principal bays that are separated by the Santiago peninsula—host to one of the most famous resorts of the town as well as some residential developments.

As you continue to travel northwest, past the Santiago peninsula, you’ll discover several pleasant beaches and reach the Club Santiago area and nearby Juluapan peninsula, that demarks the northern reaches of Manzanillo.  Take a look at the map for perspective.

Manzanillo is accessible via highway 200, the scenic highway that hugs much of Mexico’s Pacific coast from Chacala (near Sayulita) in the state of Nayarit, to Salina Cruz in the southern state of Oaxaca.  Three mountain highways connect Manzanillo to the state’s capital, Colima (about a 90-minute drive), and highway 98 crosses the mountains inland to Mexico’s second largest city, Guadalajara.  There’s an airport in Manzanillo about 25 miles north of the historic downtown district that offers flights to Mexico City and various US and Canadian cities (most international lights are operated during the high season only). Check FlightConnections.com for current routes.

Attractive alternative to Mexico’s popular resorts

Manzanillo is not a one of Mexico’s better-known destinations; most of the tourism is domestic or from seasonal visitors in the US; neither is it well known as a place where foreign residents live—and that is one of its key attractions for people seeking places off the well-beaten track.

Manzanillo offers an affordable and authentic Mexican lifestyle by the coast without the high concentration of foreign residents that nearby Puerto Vallarta has, and without the higher costs that are often associated with places in Mexico that are already popular with foreign residents.

The climate here is similar to Puerto Vallarta’s: comfortably warm in the fall and winter, increasingly hot and sultry during the spring and summer.  Manzanillo’s foreign resident population increases in the winter and falls in the summer, like many other coastal towns and cities.  For those who enjoy year-round warmth and don’t mind the summer heat (air conditioning is essential in the high summer months) Manzanillo offers great value at a location that retains a genuine Mexican feel and atmosphere.

The town’s shops and amenities provide adequate coverage for most people’s everyday living needs, with several large stores and supermarkets situated in town.  Colima city, the state capital, is about a 90-minute drive away and where residents in Manzanillo repair to when they need bigger stores or more services.

When you’re looking for somewhere quaint and tranquil to live by the coast and that doesn’t have the higher costs and concentration of foreign residents that now popular places like Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos and Riviera Maya have, consider Manzanillo.

Cost of Living in Manzanillo

The cost of living in Mexico is typically lower in Mexico than it is the USA, Canada and Western Europe, although precise costs depend upon where you live and your lifestyle choices.

Living or retiring in Manzanillo is affordable; property prices are among the most affordable on Mexico’s Pacific coast and while house prices have risen across the board in recent years, you can still find property across a range of prices in this area—from small and comfortable family homes, to marge mansion houses offering commanding views of the ocean and surrounding area.

Local shops, stores and prices in Manzanillo are generally lower than popular beach resorts in Mexico and smaller budgets stretch further here, especially when you learn to shop locally at the small markets, in the small town of Santiago, for example.

Real Estate in Manzanillo

Manzanillo offers an ample range of property types, from small comfortable casitas to large mansion homes set atop the hillside offering commanding views of the ocean and surrounding areas.

There are four principal areas where foreign residents typically buy or rent homes in Manzanillo:

• the Las Brisas area, north of the historic center and the naval docks;
• the Santiago peninsula, host to Las Hadas residential area as well as a highly exclusive residential area known as La Punta;
• Club Santiago, situated on north-western edge of Manzanillo near a country club; and
• the Juluapan peninsula which also hosts the Santiago marina.

The Santiago peninsula is a popular area for living in Manzanillo as it’s the closest to most of the shops and amenities, the Las Hadas golf course is nearby, and it’s the center point between the northern limits of Manzanillo (where the airport is situated) and the historic downtown district which leads to highways out of town connecting Manzanillo to the cities of Colima and Guadalajara.

Smaller properties can be purchased from around US$100,000; and property rentals start from around 6,000 Mexican pesos (US$300) per month; home in the more popular areas with foreign residents rent from 10,000 (US$500) pesos a month.

Healthcare services in Manzanillo

In addition to Mexico’s state sponsored healthcare provided via the country’s national health service IMSS, good quality healthcare services offered through private clinics with US-standard healthcare services exist in Manzanillo.

The privately run out-patient clinics available locally are ideal for day-to-day ailments, sprains, broken bones and other health matters which would normally be diagnosed and treated by a General Practitioner of medicine.

Travel north from Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo on Mexico’s Pacific coast – to the central coastal area of the country- and you’ll discover the Mexican Riviera.

Miles upon miles of palm trees line the land just inside the coastal shores. Jungle covered mountains plunge into the Pacific coast, or fall short to reveal golden sand beaches, waiting to be discovered and walked upon by tired feet.

This area along the coast of the Mexican Riviera is host to 3 main costal resort towns – Manzanillo, Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan – as well as the exclusive and luxurious resorts along the Costalegre between Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo.

Today, this region is extremely accessible – by air and by road – and has become a favorite holiday destination for foreigners and Mexicans alike… read on and discover why.

The port town of Manzanillo is situated on the Pacific coast of Mexico, and has two parts: the resort area on the Santiago Peninsula, and the busy commercial area downtown and to the south. Although Manzanillo is a busy and important port town on Mexico’s west coast, it still retains a tranquil, laid back, feel and authentic Mexican atmosphere.

Downtown, near the main plaza (Zocalo) you’ll find typical scenes with colonial style houses and little streets that meander away and take you on a tour around this very Mexican town.

The center of Manzanillo and the dock areas have recently undergone major renovation works: at the center of the redevelopment is a new giant turquoise statue of a Marlin – Manzanillo’s ‘official fish’.

Alongside the Playa Azul, and Playa Las Brisas you’ll find a selection of nice seafood restaurants in the open air, next to the Pacific Ocean. You can enjoy great seafood here while watching and listening to the sound of the mighty Pacific, as it delivers huge waves onto an exposed beach just a couple of dozen yards away.

The resort peninsula hosts a range of family, mid range, and luxury hotels and resorts, with their own beaches, tucked into coves away from the onslaught of the Pacific waves, making it safe to swim and play water sports. They are self-contained holiday centers: you don’t need to leave the resort if you don’t want to and just chill-out, relax and enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the local environment.

There is plenty to offer in this area for those who want to explore. Sea fishing is a popular pastime, and golf, too, is a major attraction, with Manzanillo hosting no less than two of Mexico’s most important golf courses. Diving and bird-watching are two of the other main pastimes here.

Manzanillo is in Mexico’s state of Colima, right next door the State of Jalisco – which is home to the second largest city in Mexico – Guadalajara. Guadalajara gave to Mexico such things as the Mariachi, The Mexican Sombrero and Tequila. A day-trip to Guadalajara is very convenient from Manzanillo and is a worthwhile way to experience some of Mexico’s great inland destinations.

Manzanillo is a favorite location for family holidays. The town is relaxed, the beaches are good and there’s plenty to see and do for everyone. If you’re looking for a resort town that doesn’t have the over-commercialized feel of a resort town, then Manzanillo is good place to touch down for a week, maybe two.

Manzanillo for Living and Lifestyle

Manzanillo is an undiscovered enclave on the Pacific coast that offers affordable living amidst a quaint and authentic Mexican seaside town.  Read our guide about Living, working and retirement in Manzanillo for more details.

Key Attractions

Good Beaches

Manzanillo has lots of beaches to choose from; although not all are safe for a swim, as they face the open Pacific ocean (exposed beaches), and in the latter, the combination of waves and undertow make the sea one to watch, not one to interact with.

Surfing is a very popular pastime in Manzanillo, especially on Playa Miramar. Some of the beaches have been ‘taken over’ by the hotels and resorts that reside next to them; but there are still many public beaches that may be enjoyed by all, so if you’re looking for some local life, Playa San Pedrito and Playa Audiencia will be good places to explore.

If you’re staying at a resort, you’ll have direct access to the beach outside your hotel as well; technically, all beaches are open to the public in Mexico. The beaches here are golden in color with medium-fine (not soft) sand.

Water Sports

SCUBA divers will love Manzanillo – there are lots places to have a good underwater diving experience without the need to boat out anywhere. Local firms cater for all skill and experience levels, and if you want some proper classes as a foundation to getting certified, you can do this as well. See Also: Watersports in Mexico

Local Cruises

Local Boat Tours are a great way to see remote places otherwise not accessible or difficult to get to. Your tour can include stops at good places for swimming, snorkeling and diving, give you access to remote and secluded beaches, or if you just want to relax, you can take a sunset cruise and watch the sun melt into the Pacific Ocean in style.

Fishing Trips

Sports Fishing is big here – with year-round trips available. Around the third week in November, the International Sailfish competition takes place in Manzanillo. It’s recommended that you book in advance as the fishing trips are extremely popular and you are likely to be disappointed if you don’t. Also See: Mexperience guide to Sports Fishing in Mexico.

Away from the Water

Manzanillo is quite spread out. Unlike a lot of resorts, where all local attractions can be accessed on foot, if you want to see local points of interest you’re going to need to rent a car (see Getting Around, below), take a cab, or arrange a guided tour. Local tours can include a guided tour of Manzanillo itself, as well a colonial tour of Colima (the coastal town about 60 miles south of here – it also has a Volcano)…

Eco Tours from Manzanillo

There are several lagoons along the coast which are excellent places to go bird watching and a number of fine eco and adventure tours may be undertaken from Manzanillo – including adventure travel tours to the volcano in nearby Colima. Ask locally for details and tours.

See Also: Nature and Adventure in Mexico

Golf in Manzanillo

Manzanillo’s claim to fame in the golf world: it boasts two of Mexico’s most important golf courses. Manzanillo is quickly becoming one of the top golfing locations in Mexico; the most sought-after course is situated at the fabulous Karmina Palace Hotel and Resort.

Local Tours & Activities

Mexperience offers access to local tours and activities at and around Mexico’s beach locations. Tours and activities are organized and run by well-established, professional and fully-insured operators. You can search for tours by location or category and make reservations online or by telephone. Buying tours in advance is more convenient and secure, and your spaces on the tour are guaranteed.

Getting There & Around

By Air – You can fly to Manzanillo from the United States and and other points in Mexico including Mazatlan and Mexico City. The airport resides about 25 miles (40 km) away from Manzanillo on the north side, and there is plenty of ground transportation to get you into the ‘hotel zones’. Your return trip to the airport may be booked with your hotel in advance. For detailed information about flights and flying, see the Mexperience guide to Air Travel in Mexico.

By Bus – You can travel to Manzanillo on a luxury bus from Mexico City – but note that the trip will take around 20 hours. These buses are also available from Guadalajara, which is a more sensible road journey taking just over 4 hours. Flying is the most sensible way to get to Manzanillo, unless you are on a budget, and don’t mind the wait (and want to see the sights along the way!). For detailed information about bus transportation read the Mexperience guide to Bus Travel in Mexico.

By Car – The road journey to Manzanillo from inland Mexico (e.g. Guadalajara, Mexico City, Chihuahua, et al) is mountainous in places, but not as challenging as the road to Puerto Vallarta (assuming you go over the mountains, not along Highway 200). Expect it to take longer that you may anticipate; especially if you have not driven the route before. Traveling out of Manzanillo by road north on Highway 200 will take you along the Costalegre to Puerto Vallarta; the road south leads to Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo and Acapulco. See additional information on Mexperience about Driving in Mexico and Mexico’s Toll Roads.

Car Rental – To explore Mexico’s provincial towns and cities — including its beach locations and the scenery and attractions near them — consider renting a car for your visit. Having your own car will give you more flexibility than using public transport options and, in some cases, offer you access to places which are otherwise difficult to visit without the use of a car. Read our guide to Car Rental in Mexico to learn what you need to know about car rental in Mexico and connect to the Mexperience Travel Center to reserve your Rental Car.

Taxis – Taxis in most of Mexico’s beachside towns and cities are not metered, so agree your price before you get in. Taxi travel is very affordable in Mexico, in comparison to the USA, Canada and Europe, and so provides a viable means of public transportation in Mexico. Your hotel can arrange taxis for you; some post their rates on a board in the lobby; taxi hotel rates are usually higher than cabs you hail off the street. If you speak Spanish, you will have a distinct advantage and be able to negotiate a price with the driver. For detailed information, read the Mexperience guide to Taxi Travel in Mexico.

Manzanillo Essentials

Telephone: Connect to the Communications in Mexico page on Mexperience for detailed information about keeping in touch and the latest table of national dialing codes.

Exchanging Currency: ATM machines can be found at main banks in downtown Manzanillo; many of the hotels now have ATMs as well. During business hours, banks and the Casas de Cambio will buy traveler’s checks and cash from you as well. For detailed information about exchanging and managing your money, read the Mexperience guide to Money in Mexico.

Military Checkpoints and Patrols: You may find military checkpoints and/or patrols on Highway 200. Don’t feel alarmed, they are there to provide a deterrent against illegal contraband. If you are stopped, your car may be checked over and you may be asked to open the trunk. See the guide to Driving in Mexico for more details.

Travel Insurance: We recommend that you are adequately covered with travel medical insurance and/or travel assistance insurance when you are visiting Mexico. Read the Mexperience guide to Travel Insurance in Mexico for full details and links to specialist insurance suppliers.

Internet Access: Internet cafes can be easily found in towns and cities across Mexico and WiFi is increasingly commonplace–from cafes, shops, hotels, and some cities even offer free WiFi in some defined public spaces.

Local Climate

Manzanillo offers you year-round warmth. The rainy season is May to October, but as with most monsoon areas, rains tend to be fierce and brief in the late afternoon, leaving the evenings dry and cooled off. September brings the highest levels of humidity and sees the heaviest of the rains.
