Playa Mismaloya is in a beautiful sheltered cove about 10km (6 miles) south of town along Highway 200. The water is clear and beautiful, ideal for snorkeling off the beach. Entrance to the public beach is just to the left of the Jolla de Mismaloya All-Suites Resort (tel. 322/226-0600). The movie Night of the Iguana was filmed at Mismaloya, and the resort has a restaurant on the restored film set -- La Noche de la Iguana Set Restaurant, open daily from noon to 11pm. The movie runs continuously in a room below the restaurant, and still photos from the filming hang in the restaurant. The restaurant is accessible by land on the point framing the south side of the cove. Just below the restaurant is John Huston's Bar & Grill, serving drinks and light snacks daily from 11am to 6pm.
