Melaque is a busy community located 4+ kilometers northwest of Barra de Navidad on Bahia de Navidad in the state of Jalisco. This area is actually comprised of three beachfront villages; San Patricio, Villa Obregon and Melaque - all generally referred to as Melaque. The small village of Melaque has been a vacation retreat for Mexicans for generations. San Patricio is a kilometer strip in the middle of the three villages that contains a colorful town square and lots of retail shops. Villa Obregon, to the east, is much more residential. The three 'municipios' form the largest community along the coast between Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo.

Ian MathesonHi,
I'm a big fan of Melaque and was there for 3 weeks this winter. Here's a link to a little music video I did of the
pelicans dive-bombing the surf. It's listed on YouTube as "Pelicans Gone Wild - the movie"
