Barra de Navidad, which means Christmas Sandbar or The Bar of Christmas, is a small farming and fishing community of approximately 6,000 people located on the east end of the Bahia de Navidad, 60 km north of the town of Manzanillo, along the central Pacific coast. This sleepy little town is popular with those looking for a quiet stretch of beach without the large hotels and resorts of other larger Mexican cities. What you will find in Barra de Navidad are colorful local markets, cobblestone streets, small, family owned stores and thatched beachfront seafood restaurants. The heart of downtown Barra de Navidad is blocked off for pedestrian only traffic and contains many small stores, excellent for shopping. A center plaza is a popular gathering place for locals and tourists. Recreational activities here include fishing and boat  trips,mountain biking,  swimming, sunbathing, snorkeling, surfing and boogie boarding. A large lagoon separates Barra de Navidad from Isla Navidad, and it is criss-crossed by small fishing boats gathering scallops and boats that transport visitors to the luxurious Grand Bay Hotel, complete with a golf course, that is the only resort of this type in the area.

Maps and Transportation:

When traveling by air:
The closest airports in the area are the Manzanillo airport (ZLO) located about 22 miles (35 km) southeast of Barra de Navidad in Manzanillo, Mexico and the Colima airport (CLQ) located approximately 63 miles (101 km) east of Barra de Navidad in Colima, Mexico.  I hear another alternative is to fly into Puerto Vallarta and then catch a bus!  The bus system here is very organized and some are first class with movies and reclining seats.
