 Las
Hadas beach
The beach was called Las Hadas, meaning fairies, by seamen
hundreds of years ago that discovered the phenomenon caused
by the phosphorus in the sea that creates the impression
of illuminated silhouettes dancing on the surface of the
sea.

 El
Viejo beach
Located on the other side of the hill on the western side
of Manzanillo, this beach is surrounded by shrubs and
palm trees and seldom populated. The main form of life
here are the birds flying over the warm water. The beach
has a gentle incline and the fine sand is gray. |

Mantarraya Course where the famous Las Hadas Cup Tournament

 The
Majahua Reserve
The purpose of building the Rancho Majahua ecological
tourist center is to preserve and protect the fauna living
on the almost virgin beach surrounded by jungle-like vegetation.
This gently inclined beach with moderate-sized waves facing
the open sea is inhabited by jaguars, wild boar, deer,
turkeys, crocodiles, and marine birds. |

 Fishing
Sport fishing is Manzanillo’s main attraction, particularly
for sailfish fishing enthusiasts. Every November and February
since 1954, Manzanillo has hosted the International Dorsey
Tournament, a famous competition that awards winners valuable
prizes. |
