Tucked in the southeastern corner is the small seaside town of La Manzanilla with a population of about 3,000, made up of locals and a surprisingly large and actively involved expat community. Most of the services one would need can be found here, such as food markets, fish cooperative, some boutiques and a pharmacy, although for gas or banking one needs to go to Melaque just 15 km away. It is a surprisingly relaxed lifestyle that has attracted numerous Canadians and Americans.

Tamarindo is a 150 hectare development that is owned by businessman/banker Roberto Hernandez, and features a new Four Seasons hotel. It lies on the southern most shores of the bay of Tenacatita, a rugged, lush peninsula that juts out into ocean and separates Tenacatita from the neighboring bays of Melaque and Barra de Navidad. Their development features 52 estate lots, an amazing golf course and is anchored by The Four Seasons resort/hotel with 160 luxurious rooms. There will be a real estate component to the Four Seasons, with homes built into the hillside above the hotel, at some point in the near future.

Other real estate options involve small homes within the town of La Manzanillo. There are beachfront properties available around parts of the bay, although some of it remains ejido.
