Explorations

Playa la Ropa
Situated just five minutes from town, Playa la Ropa is regarded as the most beautiful beach in the area. It has restaurants, hotels, and facilities for water sports.

Playa las Gatas
This lovely, semi-isolated beach lies at the far end of Zihuatanejo Bay and is only accessible by the "pangas" (boats) that run between the town pier and the mini-dock on the beach. There is a legend about Calzontzin, a Tarascan king, who supposedly choose this bay as his royal retreat and enclosed it with a long protective breakwater just in front of the beach. The beach is ideal for underwater enthusiasts.

Playa Linda
Located 10 minutes by car from Ixtapa's Hotel Zone, Playa Linda has a craft market and a small dock with pangas running to the Isla Ixtapa.
