About Manzanillo
Manzanillo anchors Mexico's Pacific coast within Colima state, serving as the nation's busiest commercial and maritime port. The harbor geography splits into two distinct sectors, with Manzanillo Bay handling industrial shipping to the south and picturesque Santiago Bay to the north welcoming cruise vessels. Passengers step ashore at a dedicated cruise pier constructed in 2010, positioned conveniently close to the downtown core with efficient shuttle buses, taxis, and public transit linking travelers directly to local urban plazas, vibrant shopping districts, and golden coastal beaches.
Formally established as a port in 1825 and named after the abundant local manzanilla trees utilized by early shipbuilders, the city proudly claims the title of sailfish capital of the world, hosting prestigious international fishing tournaments annually. The surrounding coastline is defined by wide crescent-shaped beaches and warm blue waters, where Santiago Bay to the west offers premier conditions for scuba diving, snorkeling, and exploring submerged marine wrecks. Downtown life pulses around the lively zócalo, a central plaza shaded by flowering trees where travelers gather to enjoy ocean breezes, local artisan markets, and expansive views across the sweeping bay.
Culinary traditions heavily favor fresh local seafood, inviting travelers to sample authentic Mexican specialties such as zesty ceviche tostadas, hearty fish soups, and freshly grilled catches from the Pacific Ocean paired with regional beverages. Beyond the immediate waterfront, Highway 200 provides seamless access inland to historic Colima City, home to ancient archaeological ruins dating back more than two thousand years, and the charming town of Comala, which offers centuries of colonial history framed by dramatic twin volcano views. Nature lovers can also explore the nearby Tortugario Ecological Center, a renowned wildlife sanctuary dedicated to conserving endangered marine species along Mexico's warm tropical coast.
