He mokuʻāina nui ʻo Michoacán. Ma ʻaneʻi, loaʻa ka mākaʻikaʻi i nā kaiāulu ʻōiwi o Nahua, nā mahiko o nā kāne nāna i wehe ka ʻōnaehana hoʻohua o ke kahakai, nā holoholona hihiu a me nā mea ulu me ka ʻole o ka palena, nā meaʻai hou loa o ke kai a kau i nā wahi kai.
ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona o ke kahakai ʻo Michoacan nā awāwa hohonu i kahakaha ʻia i ka wā e iho ai nā kahawai kūlohelohe a kūmau hoʻi, ua hana kekahi o lākou i nā muliwai a me nā kahawai e pono ke kipa ʻia.
ʻO kekahi o kēia mau wahi, ʻo Las Peñas, aia ma ka wēlau o ka pā ʻo Lázaro Cárdenas. He wahi pōhaku ia me nā mokupuni a me kahi kahakai liʻiliʻi me nā nalu ikaika a me kahi ʻano kai maikaʻi. Ua hoʻopuni ʻia ka ʻāina e ka nahele ulu ʻo ka mauna papakū a me kekahi mau lāʻau pāma.
Ke hoʻomau nei i ke ala a me ka hāhai ʻana iā Punta Corralón, hiki ʻoe i Caleta de Campos, nona ke one maikaʻi a ʻeleʻele hoʻi. ʻO kēia kai kūʻono, aia ia i loko o kahi pali ʻulaʻula, ʻike ʻia ʻo Bufadero ma muli o ka walaʻau i hana ʻia e ka ea i loko o kahi pali ke emi ke kai, hoʻokuʻu iā ia me ka ikaika.
Ma ke kūkulu ʻākau a hiki i ka nuku o ka muliwai Cachán ʻo kahakai ʻo Maruata, kahi i hoʻokumu ʻia ai kahi pālahalaha nui a lilo i mau kuahiwi a me nā puʻu o ka ʻāina kiʻekiʻe. ʻO ke kahakai o ke one keʻokeʻo maikaʻi me ka hōʻike ʻana i ka makani mai ka hema a me ka hikina kahi heleuma kūlohelohe a kahi haʻahaʻa nā nalu a ʻaʻole ikaika loa. ʻO ka lau nahele ka ulu lāʻau pāma me ka ʻĀinapuniʻole i hoʻopuni ʻia e ka nahele waena. ʻO kēia kahi pūnaewele punahele no ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i ke kauwela a me ka hoʻoilo. Aia kekahi kahua hoʻomoana ma Maruata no ke pale ʻana i ka honu kai. ʻEkolu mau ʻano i hele mai ma aneʻi: ʻo ka ʻoliva ridley (lepidochelys olivacea), ka honu ʻeleʻele (Chelonia agasizzi) a me ka honu leatherback (dermochelys imbricata). Aia ma kēia pūnaewele kahi i hoʻomaka ai ka Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo i kāna hana e pale aku ai i ka honu kai i ke kauwela o 1982.
ʻO ka Bucerías Lighthouse, 1 km ka lōʻihi, he kahawai i uhi ʻia me ke one kiʻekiʻe a hohonu.
ʻO ka mea hope loa, ʻo kekahi o nā estuaries nui loa i ka mokuʻāina aia ma San Juan de Alima, kahi ākea ākea kahakai kahi e lawe ʻia ai ka paʻakai kai ma kahi ʻano noʻeau. He makani ikaika kona kahakai pohaku e hoʻonaninani ana no ka heʻe nalu ʻana a me ka holo ʻana. A ʻo nā hōkele, me ka ʻole o ka maikaʻi akā maʻemaʻe a ʻoluʻolu hoʻi, hāʻawi i nā meaʻai lua ʻole.
ʻAʻohe kānalua ʻo ka hihiu a untamed o nā kahakai ʻo Michoacan e hoʻolilo iā mākou i poʻe hoʻolaha, kono iā mākou i nā ʻike hou e hiki ai iā mākou ke kamaʻilio e pili ana iā ʻoe i ke kūlohelohe. Aia nō ia no nā ʻono āpau, mai ka wai palupalu a me ka mimilo a i nā ʻino ʻino o ke kai ākea. He kahakai e ʻae iā mākou e ʻike i ke ola i kahi ʻano ʻokoʻa.
