If you fly in in the daytime you can't help but see a 15-mile long beach that actually has two names depending on which part of the beach is being referred to: Playa Blanca and Playa Larga.

The extreme southern end of Playa Blanca is also known as La Barra De Potosí which has many native seafood restaurants and is adjacent to a large lagoon where boat tours are available for reasonable prices.

There the endangered white pelicans, roseate spoonbills, flamingos, and great blue herons can still be seen. Don't forget your camera!

Playa Manzanillo
(Manzanillo Beach)

Another fairytale beach is Playa Manzanillo which is between Playa Larga and the bay of Zihuatanejo in front of Barra de Potosi.
It's possible to walk there but only for the stout and sturdy adventuresome.

It's much more convenient to hire a boat at the pier.
The bay at Manzanillo is perfect for snorkeling or simply enjoying the unspoiled beauty of millions of years of
evolution with the spectacular view of the guano-covered islands called Los Morros De Potosí which resemble a pair of half-submerged elephants (with a little imagination), a favorite hiding-place for pirates in days of yore.
