Heading north from Barra along the beach are wetlands rich in tropical wildlife and flora. Two small towns in this direction are San Patricio and Melaque which both offer a variety of additional sights and attractions. Surrounding the Bahia de Barra are the foothills of the Sierra Madres which frame the fertile tropical plains with cattle, mangoes, bananas, and coconut palms. The sea with its bounty of fish and beauty make Barra an unforgettable place. Barra for the sport enthusiast offers a variety of recreational water activities such as swimming, surfing, diving, snorkeling, and deep sea fishing.
Shops are plentiful and boats are for hire daily at a fixed rate.
Trolling for marlin, tuna, or dorado can not only be entertaining but extremely tasteful when you can have a local restaurant grill your catch. Indeed, after a short time in Barra you will find it to be a place which leaves a lingering sense of nature's breadth and the simple pleasures of a Mexican coastal town. Contact Casa Chips for more information. We are always looking for good blues and jazz musicians and bands to come down and play at our place. What could be better than bringing your family down for a vacation on the beach and playing music overlooking the warm tropical Pacific Ocean while having a great vacation as well.
