Boca de Pascuales, Colima, Mexico
Boca de Pascuales on the coast of the State of Colima
is a surfers dream, or nightmare, a rivermouth beach break with some of the
biggest, hollowest, fastest tubes in Mexico. The waves break both right
and left with enormous power.
To get to Pascuales: Flights are available to
either Manzanillo (international) or Colima (from Mexico City), in the state of
Colima. US air lines arrive directly in Manzanillo. The city of Tecoman is
about an hour from either by car, follow the sign from downtown (about 10 km.).
Buses are available to Tecoman and either taxis (cheap) or local buses or combis
(cheaper) are easy transportation to Pascuales Beach.
Bring your boards, dudes!
Playa L'Recif
A small, pebble-strewn beach where the wave action can be spectacular. When
calm, the diving and snorkeling is great because of the huge coral reef just a
few yards off shore.
Come just for the view, both above
and below the water. A word of caution: at this site the
ocean conditions can change rather quickly, so if you plan to be
in the water be aware at all times. The photo-taking
opportunities from the top of the hill will make your trip
enjoyable, no matter what.
Land Sports You can also
visit the Colima Volcano, one of the worlds most active,
play tennis or go horseback riding. Puerto Vallarta Is 120 miles
north, about a 3 hour drive for the adventurous souls.
