La Manzanilla Vacation Rentals, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals

La Manzanilla is located on the central Pacific coast of Mexico, south of Puerto Vallarta. More specifically, it is situated at the south end of Bahia Tenacatita, a picturesque half-moon shaped bay that opens onto the Pacific, in the state of Jalisco. It’s a quaint little fishing village, home to approximately 500 residents who are mainly employed in the fishing industry. At one time, the village and surrounding lands were part of a large, privately owned hacienda. After the Mexican revolution, it was given to the locals to farm and raise cattle. Today, the area has become a popular beach destination for locals from the surrounding mountain villages, as well as tourists looking for a more adventurous vacation. Many species of fish and sea life can be found in the sheltered bay, and birdwatching, hiking, biking, beachcombing, snorkeling and wildlife observation are other popular activities in La Manzanilla. Right next to the village is a Federal Ecological Zone that harbors Egrets, Heron, King Fishers, Anhingas, alligators and more. Accommodations vary from hotels in the village to cabanas on the beach and villas in the surrounding foothills. Several family-owned restaurants and grocery stores are available in town, as well. La Manzanilla is home to an annual celebration in February called “Fiesta Del Toros la Manzanilla,” a four-day festival that celebrates the founding of the town.

La Manzanilla Weather & Climate

The Central Pacific  coast of Mexico shares the same latitude as Hawaii, and thus has a similar climate. From November through April, the weather is very pleasant; you can expect warm days and cool nights. In May, the climate starts to change--becoming more hot and humid, and building up to the beginning of rainy season, which generally runs June through November. It normally rains every three or four days, usually in the late afternoon or evening, cooling everything off. Also, the close proximity to the Sierra Madres, plus two bays provide better wind currents to keep the area fresh and cool. The higher altitudes in the surrounding hills are cooler with stronger breezes and more rain. Along the beach, there is generally a cooling afternoon sea breeze.
