SURFING

 

Costalegre has three locations where surfing and windsurfing enthusiasts can put their skills to the test.

 

Barra de Navidad. Located 55 km (34 mi) from the port of Manzanillo, off Highway 240, and 216 km (134 mi) from Puerto Vallarta, off Highway 200. This beach is 2 km (1.2 mi) long. This beach has medium-sized waves, making it a great spot for surfing and windsurfing.

 

Playa Cuastecomate. Located in the town of Cuastecomate, 3 km (2 mi) west of the Melaque-Puerto Vallarta Highway 200 junction and 8 km (5 mi) from Barra de Navidad. The moderate waves here allow you to get in some good surfing and windsurfing on a beach with jungle landscape and small islands of the coast.

 

Playa Majahuas. Located at Km 116 on the Melaque-Puerto Vallarta Highway 200, 145 km (90 mi) from Barra de Navidad and 15 km (9 mi) from Tomatlan. The big waves at this beach present quite a challenge for surfing enthusiasts. A local surfing tournament takes place here during Easter break.
