Current beach conditions? Posted by Charlie on January 9, 2024, 4:20 pm Hello- We are returning to La Manzanilla in February, after having been gone for many years. We stayed with Irene a couple times and later at a hotel and a house on the beach. We are excited to come back. I saw this comment on a post from November and was wondering if conditions are better. “ The beach in La Manzanilla is covered with a huge amount of gravel and rocks, all the way to the pantheon - a result of the storm surge of Hurricane Lidia. It’s the largest amount of rocks that we have seen in the 17 years we’ve been here. When entering the water - at least at our house, just past Quinta Valentina - there is a big drop-off a few metres in. Take care, you can go for a tumble.” We will be staying at “Casa Palmas frente al Mar” Does anyone know what the beach conditions are near there? We just want to be prepared. Thank you so much.

Re: Current beach conditions? Posted by Dave on January 9, 2024, 8:36 pm, in reply to "Current beach conditions?" I think the post is still correct. We tried to walk towards the Croc Bar but ended up mostly traveling over the rocks. The beach is also sloped so hopefully one leg is longer then the other. Never seen it like this in over 20 yrs., that I can remember. There was always more of an angle as you walk towards Boca until you got further down then it leveled off. If the tide is out you do have some beach.

There are some very low tides right now during the afternoon, for the next few days. This makes walking on the beach much easier. https://www.tide-forecast.com/locations/Manzanillo-Colima-Mexico/tides/latest

Re: Current beach conditions? Posted by Maggi on January 10, 2024, 9:16 am, in reply to "Re: Current beach conditions?" I find the beach to be absolutely perfect from the cemetery to Boca. Perfect for walking and swimming. I'm avoiding the rest of it.

I will bookmark that tide chart and plan accordingly. We will be there for the first 2 weeks of February and will perhaps run into you then. Cheers, Charlie Cunniff Seattle WA
