17° 38.4′ N · 101° 33.2′ W

The pedestrian waterfront and the car-free lanes behind it are lined with taquerias, seafood restaurants and boutiques, mostly full of Mexican families; a cheerful, walkable town that many cruisers rate their favorite in Mexico.

Practical

Position is the OpenStreetMap trace of the Paseo del Pescador. S/V Some Tuesday's favorite was an al pastor taqueria on a small plaza with a mermaid statue near Playa Principal: five tacos for 70 MXN (Feb 2026). La Palmera was a cruiser pick in 2011. The outdoor basketball court beside the beach is almost always in use. For a view dinner, take a taxi to Ristorante Il Mare on the cliffs above La Ropa.
