View full guideTake a bus to Boca de Tomatlán and from there, walk or take a water taxi to more secluded and beautiful beaches like Colomitos, Las Ánimas or Quimixto.
If you're in town between October and May, don't miss the Wednesday night Art Walk, when El Centro's main galleries open their doors and often serve cocktails.
A tip of 10-15% is expected in restaurants. It is also customary to tip buskers, supermarket baggers, and wait staff.
Although English is widely spoken, an effort to use basic Spanish phrases like 'Hello' and 'Thank you' is greatly appreciated and will open doors for you.
Don't drink tap water. All restaurants and hotels use purified water and ice, so they are safe.
The Pacific sun is strong. Use high factor sunscreen. At night, especially in the rainy season, use mosquito repellent.
Some beaches can have strong rip currents. Pay attention to warning flags and do not swim alone.
Although Uber and other apps are available, if you take a local taxi, always agree on the fare with the driver before starting the trip, as they do not use a meter.
