Maruata: Hidden Coastal Gem for Sunset Dining and Beachside Camping

Surrounded by cliffs and hills that seem to protect it, Maruata is a hidden jewel that you most know. In the seashore, you will find palapas, hammocks and a place for camping. Most of the visitors are young and from abroad. They gather at sunset, even though they didn't arrive together, for seeing the sun fall and for sharing dinner. Here in Maruata, there are 3 different bays that you can choose for relaxing and refreshing in its shores.

 

Its waves are capricious and its mood changes constantly through the day. Another attraction you can find in this Michoacana beach is its Fauna. Seagulls, white herons, pelicans and many more will be flying around you. There are also three different turtle species (Golfina, Laud and Negra) that nest in this very island.

 

If you are feeling hungry you can sit in one of the palapas and eat freshly caught fish. Why don’t you try grilled fish or seafood soup, there are also beers available to pair your food.

 

If you want to forget about routine and sleep under a starry sky next to the beach, take your tent with you. If you want something more luxurious you can stay in one of the cottages of the zone, next to the three bays.
