| Manzanillo Port of Entry
| |
 Manzanillo, Mexico |
Manzanillo is the busiest seaport in Mexico, in terms of total tonnage and volume of containerized cargo, and it also prides itself as being the most efficient port for tuna landings in Mexico. Rail lines connect the port to both Guadalajara and Mexico City. Manzanillo is also home to Mexico's Pacific Naval Forces.
The historic city centre sits on the eastern side of a two-lobed bay, Bahia de Manzanillo, and is industrial, grubby and rather uninteresting, holding little of interest to cruising sailors. However, to the west, past the container piers and associated industrial areas, are residential areas, hotels and resorts, and the restaurants, shopping centres and big-box stores to support them.
Dividing the two lobes of the bay is the Santiago peninsula, and on it are up-scale resorts, condo developments and a golf course. On the eastern side of the peninsula is the Marina Las Hadas, with about 40 stern-tie slips. Off the entrance to the marina is a well-protected anchorage, which can easily accommodate two dozen cruising boats.
