Nature

There’s lots to see if you are into nature or the environment. Every January and February, there’s whale watching, as the mamas and babies migrate north.

You will see great pacific dolphins skipping through the water and, depending on the time of year, you may see giant sea turtles lay their eggs in the sand or you can help the hatchlings find their way to the ocean.

The Pacific coast of Mexico is perfect for bird watchers, there are many species of birds to see, from delicate humming birds to squawking parrots to pelicans gliding over the surf looking for fish. Butterflies, too. You can walk to see crocodiles in their natural habitat. Iguanas, Silver tailed foxes, and Kuwaitis are occasional visitors. There is a jungle cruise out of Tenacatita that is great for nature lovers . Mangrove tours are available with experienced nature guides for a reasonable price. The mangrove is a haven for birds and bird watchers.

At night, the whole sky is lit with a galaxy of stars, the full moon rising over the Bay of Tenacatita is a spectacular show.

Golf

There are two world class golf courses located nearby – Isla Navidad at the Grand Bay resort in Barra de Navidad, and El Tamarindo Golf and Beach Club. Both of these courses have been given high marks by Golf Digest.
