The 10 Best Budget-friendly Things to do in Manzanillo, Colima
Magical, historic, cultural, intimate – these are but a few of the words that best describe the balmy and magical escape that is Manzanillo on the Pacific Coast of Mexico. A lush, tropical environment welcomes travelers – verdant hillsides make way for sandy beaches, a setting that just begs for outdoor adventures and lazy days by the ocean. Visit between December and April and you’re likely to glimpse one of the playful whales swimming in Manzanillo Bay. By night, the village is full of energetic nightlife and restaurants are full to the brim. It’s all the charm of old world Mexico with every 21-century creature comforts you could want. While the crashing Pacific surf is sure to capture your attention for much of your time in Manzanillo, be sure to check out the countless other outdoor pursuits. Take an ATV off-road adventure, go deep-sea or sportfishing, head out hiking on an eco tour or take to the sea by kayak. Go sailing, snorkeling, SCUBA diving and surfing, then head back to shore for some shopping. Lace up your tennies for a volcano or waterfall tour.

This is a nice walking area along the bay. There are several park like areas with benches. There are a numbers of statues which make for great photo ops. This area overlooked the marina with is picturesque and that is not counting all of the flowers. There are also shops and places to get something to eat along the walkway.

One of two major bays situated directly north of the city.
Reviewed By EagleBayBC
The northwest bay stretch of beach in Manzanillo is the best for walking, especially as you near the most northwest end at Club Santiago. There it is easy to enter the water which is very clear. Lots and lots of beach club options along the the entire 5km stretch. An especially nice one is the Oasis Ocean Club nearer the Club Santiago area. A great way to spend your day at the beach.

Nice to see the iguanas and a few other kinds of animals too. Maybe not the neatest kept, but you can see they are taking care and providing decent habitat to keep them safe and happy. Thank you!
