Watersports
Miles and miles of wide uncrowded beaches make up Manzanillo's coastline. With great dive spots just offshore scuba and snorkeling enthusiasts will rejoice in the many options and local shops offer dive trips for all experience and skill levels. Waterskiing, windsurfing and sailing are also popular and readily available pastimes.
Golf and Tennis
Sporting two of México's top 10 golf courses compared to the Baja's one, Manzanillo is becoming the spot for México's growing resort golfing travel. If tennis is more your sport, enjoy playing on beautiful courts surrounded by lush tropical greenery.
Horseback riding
Up and down Manzanillo's expansive coast line are spots to enjoy the sun and surf from horseback.
Beaches
Manzanillo offers some of México's most pristine and unpopulated beaches. Some are majestic with the crashing waves of the Pacific ocean with spectacular cliffs over looking, perfect for a relaxing stroll, but not for swimming. Some are tranquil and quiet protected from the Pacific's pounding waves, with waters calm enough for the entire family to play.
Playa de Oro
This unknown beach boasts pristine beauty and an interesting history. In 1862 the "Golden Gate" paddle ship went down just off shore, along with it's cargo of $1,400,000's worth of gold coin. Much of the gold was recovered in 1864 and the 1960s, however, locals talk of the occasional coin that washes up on shore. Not recommended for swimming it offers great beachcombing and walking as well as nude sunbathing.
Night Life
With Manzanillo's quite and tranquil nature you would think that nightlife is one thing you would not find here, you would be wrong. After dark the lights come up and the city comes alive. Choose from traditional mariachi's or go where the locals go and visit a "botanero" an experience unique to the state of Colima, remember these are generally for adults. Disco's also abound keep in mind that arriving to a nightclub or disco before 11pm isn't worth it, save your energy considering most visitors don't start going home until 5 and 7am.
