This geography helps make sense of a visit: the compact older center is only one part of a much longer coastal destination. The Río Ameca marks the state line with Nayarit; Boca de Tomatlán lies farther south near the mountain-backed shoreline. Distinguish these places when choosing a base or beach outing.
