Pretty stunning sight. There were several hundred pelicans when I was there. Local boy was selling fish carcasses to throw to them.

Highly recommended, late November full of pelicans, friendly, quiet little town. We slept on the esplanade on the other side of the Petatán sign. Silent and safe night.

Hey just a heads up - we came in August and there are no pelicanos! November/December they arrive! Cute town but save yourself the drive!

Nice little malecon, locals hanging out, stalls with snacks (decaffeinated iced coffee). Only pelicans didn't show up. We might have overlooked the fact that it was Sunday and fishermen didn't work?

The children that can sell you fish for the pelicans are equally as entertaining. The parking is being revamped so we paid 30 pesos to a local for parking in their yard.

Un lugar perfecto para ver los pelicanos, a las 4pm los pescadores les dan de comer es un espectaculo. Nosotros pernoctamos en el parking delante del malecon, gratis. Tambien muy buenos restaurantes..

It’s really worth the stop! Bring time with you! We spent around three hours watching the Pelicans. Between 3pm and 4pm the local fishermen bring the rests from fish cleaning to this place. Afterwards hundreds of Pelicans come to the shore to eat.

Hundreds of white pelicans on lake Chapala can be observed from the Malacon de Petatan. Free, just a short distance from highway
