Beaches

Located within a small bay, Mismaloya beach is a great place for swimming as there is no strong tide or undertow. The beach can get quite busy with guests from the hotels right next to it. It is possible to hire boats to go fishing and it is possible to go jet skiing and parasailing. There are a few little restaurants on the beach which is ideal if you are looking for a little refreshment.

The Richard Burton film 'Night of the Iguana' was filmed here and the remains of the original movie set are still here, although not accessible.

Things to Do

Glide over forests, jungles and waterfalls at the El Eden Canopy Zipline tour then relax in one of the natural pools in the Mismaloya river.

It is also possible to take a river taxi to one of the more remote locations or to go on a snorkeling or fishing trip.

Out and About

There are several restaurants situated on the beach, all of which serve many Mexican dishes and of course, freshly caught seafood. Some of the restaurants even provide a beach service so it is possible to enjoy a drink on the beach.

There are a few trinket peddlers down at the beach but nothing more than that so don't expect to get much shopping done here.
