The beaches of Mismaloya are probably the most well know beach due to the filming of "Night of the Iguana" here in l963. This 500 meter long beach sits at the very edge of the jungle where the Mismaloya creek meets the sea. Several species of wildlife have been spotted here including many different types of birds as well as land animals such as deer, pumas, jaguars, quails, monkeys and armadillos that have been seen in the hills above the beach. The shallow surf makes it a good place to swim and thus popular with families. There are Jet Ski, para sail, and boat rentals available and so are water taxis to remote beaches. The original movie set is now a restaurant at the far end of the beach and several palapa style eateries line the beach that offer an array of delights for eating and drinking. Mismaloya beach is located 7 miles south of town on highway 200. The entrance is at the bottom of the hill between The La Jolla de Mismaloya Resort and the bridge.Locate on map
