Tenacatita Bay

Tenacatita Bay lies on the Pacific coast of Jalisco, south of Chamela. Its curving shore is framed by headlands and backed by low hills, with beaches and sheltered inlets facing the water. Mangroves grow in the coastal wetlands around the bay. Like other bays on this mountainous coast, Tenacatita offers a sheltered indentation along a shore where the Pacific meets rocky points and short coastal plains.
