Take a trip from Guadalajara<\/a> to explore Colima and Jalisco beaches. This driving tour will bring you to the most picturesque towns in Colima, past a volcano and on to the peaceful beaches of the Costalegre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Costa Alegre<\/strong>, meaning the happy coast, literally starts in Manzanillo and ends in Puerto Vallarta. It is full of small coves and therefore makes a good location to relax, although you won’t really find any “American standard” hotels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our latest trip<\/a> to Cuastecomate reminded me that we never put up our Pacific Coast Tips, that have been waiting since our last two trips going South to North (this trip), and then North to South<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here they are the beaches of the Costalegre from South to North. We have noted which beaches are best for “surf” (rough beaches), or “swim” (swim-able), and any other tidbits you might want to know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read on for the ultimate guide to exploring the Pacific coast outside of Guadalajara!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
