| Boca de Iguanas |
| Boca de Iguanas, located about 18km northwest of Barra de Navidad on Tenacatita Bay, is still so small it's not even a village. Accommodations are limited to one lovely boutique hotel set on the beach with sumptous eco friendly grounds, a small suites hotel on the cliff above plus one campground and a small motel. There was another large hotel on the beach in Boca de Iguanas but it was destroyed in a boiler explosion over 20 years ago, the ruins of the hotel can still be observed to this day. |
| Boca de Iguanas has two small restaurants that sell beer, pop, snack foods and some meals as well as the full restaurant and bar at the Boca Hotel on the beach which are open to the public. Boca does not have any grocery stores so planning to camp or stay in a bungalow and do your own cooking bring your food with you. There is no bus service into Boca de Iguanas. |
| Boca de Iguanas like La Manzanilla has some resident Crocodiles in the lagoon so if you bring your dog with you don't let him run loose. You can walk from Boca de Iguanas to La Manzanilla along the level and fairly firm beach or by taking the paved road out of Boca and then the turn off onto a dirt road to your right just past the ruined hotel. This road runs along the back of the mangrove swamp parallel to the beach and provides a fair amount of shade on hot afternoons. Our Cuatro Playas Tenacatita Bay mountain bike tour utilizes this route between La Manzanilla and Boca de Iguanas. |
| Boca de Iguanas has some good waves for boogie boarding but watch out for the undertow. Water sports here are recommended for strong swimmers only. |
