Bahias
Huatulco, La Crucecita
The town of La
Crucecita is about 4 kms from Marina Chahue and although it is a pretty walk
the heat made the 25 peso taxi rides too tempting to refuse.

| La Crucecita Plaza |
The town
center has a plaza filled with large old shade trees. Neighbouring bays have
large resorts but the town La Crucecita is set slightly inland so the central area
remains largely unchanged from years ago.

There are
several boutique hotels in the old town and an earlier Italian influence is
present in both restaurants and deli selections.

In keeping
with our experience in Mexico, the people are quick to smile and offer
assistance. This area has received a huge influx of Canadians and we are well
regarded. We are only unique in that we are here so late in the season and that
we are sailing not flying in to condos on the beach.

| Cruise ship in Santa Cruz |
The next bay
to Chahue is Santa Cruz which has a cruise ship dock and a palapa lined beach.

We were constantly
amazed by the number of Trunkfish, Porcupinefish and Balloonfish that swam n
Marina Chahue. Mags even caught a photo of this eagle ray.

The marina is subject to swell so good chafe protection is strongly advised but the staff is helpful and friendly. No jejeneys or mosquitos at the marina but the shower is an open air, well, there are walls, cold water only structure, but who needs hot water down here? The new fuel dock is operational.
