Yelapa

After a wonderful stay in La Cruz and a great visit from friends up north it was time to leave.  We headed to Yelapa across the bay on the south side of Bahia Bandaras. It is a quaint fishing village that also caters to the tourist. There are many palapas on the beach, lots of vacatrion rentals and water taxis that scoot you to and fro.

There is no road to Yelapa. The streets are cobbled paths and you see many horses and burros. No cars! We hiked to one of the waterfalls and found a pretty good bakery. The shore excursion was capped by a couple of beers at the palapa and a water taxi back to the boat.

We are currently on a mooring ball that they charge $200 MXP to tie up to.  What a rolly night it was. As the boat swung with the wind we were side to the incoming swell.  Probably one of the most uncomfortable overnight stays we've had.  We left for Ipala at first light. It was good to be underway again.

We were greeted by one of the locals when we went ashore.

There are no roads in Yelapa, just cobble stone paths and
the best way to get around town is by burro.
