Visit to Chacala

Chacala is located about an hour north of Lo De Marcos.  A 9 km drive to the beach from Hwy 200 on a paved road. We decided to drive up to spend the day there since we had not visited the place since Feb 2003.  At that time the place was being rebuilt after a Hurricane Kenna had done major damage in Oct 2002.

There are many more homes in the area now and large palapas for the restaurants.  It is a lovely place to spend the day.

We highly recommend Chico's restaurant on the south end of the beach.  We enjoyed a lunch of red snapper cooked over mesquite wood fire.  Excellent!

While we were walking along a path to visit the marina, we spotted an iguana with a forked tail sunning himself on a rock!
