Walkable marina and downtown with El Arco a short boat ride away.
Where ships dock
- Tender port: ships anchor in the bay
- Tenders land at the marina
Getting to town
Tenders take about 10 minutes. From the marina, downtown is a 10–15 minute walk. Medano Beach is about 20–30 minutes on foot.
Water taxis and glass-bottom boats from the marina go to El Arco (Land's End) and Lover's Beach. Agree the price and pickup time first; prices vary. Taxis are available but pricier than elsewhere in Mexico.
