Chamela and Tenacatita

     We departed La Cruz in the early evening of the 4th headed for Chamela.  On our way out of  Banderas Bay we encountered whales literally surrounding us.  It was truly amazing.  Thankfully our passage to Chamela was uneventful and we arrived before noon on the 5th.  The water there was clear, clean, and warm-yippee!  We all enjoyed swimming in the beautiful bay.  The beach was lined with palapas and warm sand.  Salty entertained us with his “freedom to roam dance”.  Salty + open sandy beach + ocean = one happy dog!  We were able to do some boogie boarding there too.  Knowing that we would be to this beautiful anchorage on our way back north, we only stayed for a couple of nights before making our way to Tenacatita.

Chamela beach

     We really enjoyed Tenacatita.  There was an easy dinghy landing at the beach, which is always appreciated!  There was so much to do here; Swimming, snorkeling, beachcombing, dinghy estuary tour (crocodile hunting!), etc.

Estuary tour:  We managed to find 1 crocodile!
