A secluded Jalisco coast site with easy beach access, live coral, and more exposed water around the point and outer reef.
About Tenacatita
Tenacatita is a beach-access Pacific dive on Mexico's Jalisco coast, centered on a secluded bay with coral blocks, sea fans, and rich reef life along the shallows and rocky edges. It suits relaxed shoreline dives and snorkeling when the water is calm, while the point and outer reef feel more exposed when Pacific swell moves through. The entry is straightforward, but the best dives come with patience and a flexible plan around sea state.
