Boca de Iguanas

Boca de Iguanas is an exposed beach break with peaks that work both directions, favoring southwest groundswells and producing most consistent waves during autumn months, particularly November. The break is mellow and forgiving, suited to intermediate and beginner surfers. Wave quality remains fairly steady, with northeast offshore winds providing clean conditions. Rocks and sharks are present hazards, and swimmers should avoid areas beyond the camping ground toward the rocky zone.

Access involves tidal considerations—low tide exposes underwater rocks that create hazards but also allow passage to a reef-protected shallow lagoon. The spot sits in a secluded area north of Barra de Navidad with light crowds, attracting primarily travelers seeking quieter waves away from main surf zones.

Located near Cihuatlán in Jalisco's Pacific coast, Boca de Iguanas lies approximately 30 kilometers from Manzanillo's airport. The trailhead from La Manzanilla involves a 6.7-mile hike taking two to two-and-a-half hours. The remote setting and limited development suggest minimal infrastructure for services or accommodation directly at the beach.
