Colima has a 150 km coastline; small compared to the immense Mexican Pacific, which is our longest border.
As is known, the western Mexican coasts are rugged; their proximity to the Sierra Madre, which frequently falls into the sea, makes them, for the most part, difficult to access and limited in size; however, they have in their favor the blue vastness, the warm temperature of its waters and the richness of its fauna. La Antigua Mar del Sur, which the Spanish conceived as the gateway to an immense new world, here is, in that mixture of new and old flavor, an unforgettable experience.
The sea has an euphony that catches. It has the attraction of the unknown, of danger; fervently attracts and encourages dreams; nurture hopes and recreate dreams. A memory that is nested in the memory and a reminiscence of brackish and sweet flavors that engulf us. It is the closest thing to the natural. Here the soul breaks its chains and the dream reaches the highest levels.
The body frees itself from the constraints and tightnesses imposed by fashion, to give way to the comfortable, to the soft, to the simple. The sea always attracts because it reveals the skin, it plunges us into ourselves and deciphers our soul through nudity. It is a pretext in the songs and melody that is sung with the vigor that life gives. The sea brings us closer to the original sources, it is like submerging ourselves in the womb, sheltered only by the warm environment; it makes us more human in contact with the breeze and the trade winds, which caress the environment with the perfumed breath of tropical flowers and fruits. If the day is a party, the night is charm.
Our beaches have names that refer to ancient consonances and reveal our memory, an ancient memory submerged in the remote times of our indigenous past: Boca de Apiza, Chupadero, El Real, Boca de Pascuales, Cuyutlán, El Paraíso, Manzanillo, with its small roads and coves, Las Hadas, El Tesoro, Salagua, Miramar, Juluapan and La Audiencia, among others.
Some of them are not good for sea bathing, as they are open beaches, but they are excellent to enjoy food - in this area, the variety is extensive, because you can eat moyos, a regional variety of crabs, in Boca de Apiza, or prawns raised in an aquaculture farm in the Tecomán valley or taste dishes made with seafood in Boca de Pascuales, until reaching the most sophisticated cuisine in Manzanillo–: others, like Cuyutlán, have an old and well-earned fame popular: they are an old common meeting place for Mexicans from the west and center of the country, and a traditional spa for the Colima people who crowd the place during vacation periods, or Manzanillo which is now a meeting point for international tourism that establishes its prestige in the excellence of the services offered to its visitors; or in the adventure of entering the sea to catch sailfish or dorado, in that immense struggle that is the daily struggle of man and nature.
This mix of sun, sand and water is an irresistible attraction that few can ignore. Our slopes and soft sand beaches are perhaps the most attractive in the Mexican Pacific. It's easy to check.
