We missed out on our last chance to enjoy the place we had been used to driving 1200 miles into Mexico for, you might know the area, of Tenacatita, on your way to Manzanill0, if you go all the way on 200, to get to Zihaut (I would surmise that many would avoid the northern stretch to Lazaro Cardenas, one of the most scenic roads to be found anywhere - due to security reasons.) But Tenacatita was evacuated, the beach cleared by force, by Jalisco State poilce with riot gear and automatic rifles on August 4th, 2010.houses and almost all the palapa restaurants were bulldozed and armed guards thereafter held the beach for next 4 years. It ended for us, our visits to park near the coral beach and its warm water that teemed with life, was over. 800 people were said to make a living there but the wire fences kept everyone except the guards, out.
