Now is the time to discover traditional, laid back "La Cruz" with its small shops and restaurants, unpretentious accommodations and burgeoning music scene. The main square overlooking the ocean is a good place to soak it all in, while watching fishermen mend their nets. Little known to foreign tourists until recently, life in this rustic fishing village still meanders at a leisurely manana pace. Still small-town Mexico to be sure, but La Cruz now has a a world-class marina with slips for 400 boats, a seaside promenade, repair shop, outdoor theater,  restaurants and more that is drawing international attention. And luxurious residential communities are springing up around La Cruz catering to the increasing numbers of North Americans who have already discovered it. La Cruz also has some excellent restaurants to select from.
