Between Manzanillo and Puerto Vallarta, on the Mexican Pacific coast, Costa Alegre is part of a larger coastline named Gold Coast and it is becoming a world class destination. Several attractive tourist destinations can be visited along the Costa Alegre. Going south toward Manzanillo, two interesting and picturesque points to visit are Barra de Navidad and San Patricio Melaque. Then, Tamarindo, La Manzanilla, and Boca de Iguanas are wonderful spots just in the south part of the Bay of Tenacatita, which, finally, leads to Bay of Chamela and Costa Careyes. Sun and sea, two combined elements, await you just half an hour north of Manzanillo airport in San Patricio Melaque and Barra de Navidad.

Visitors will find a wide range of lodging options and for those planning to stay longer apartments and guesthouses are available for rent. Boutiques, cybercafes, and restaurants make this places quite recommended to visit.
