This was an interesting stop. The anchorage here isn't in the open bay like most. Instead it's inside a large shallow lagoon. Along one side of the entry into the lagoon is a luxury resort & marina, along the other side of the entry is the town of Barra de Navidad.
The cruiser friendly small Hotel Sands was our hangout while here. They allowed cruisers to tie dinghies at their seawall and use of their pool without any questions. It was a given that you just ordered food and/or drinks while you hung out. The pool was a nice treat and the restaurant prepared a couple dinners just for the cruising crowd.
Just north within the bay is the town of Melaque. We caught a bus and spent an afternoon getting groceries at tiendas and a cool drink at a beach side, palapa roofed bar.
During our week stay, we experienced an earthquake one afternoon. We were ashore at a fish vendor along the hillside. It was quick and short, but felt like the hillside has just rumbled down onto the backside of the building. Luckily, there was no landslide or any other damage done.
