Barra de Potosi beach

Barra de Potosi is a village on the Pacific coast of Mexico located to the south of Zihuatanejo airport. Beach is rather mediocre in the village itself. It is better to walk to the right. There are a lot of palms, no crowd, and only occasional beachfront properties can be met ashore. There are often strong waves in the ocean. However, these are comfortable in most cases, so the swimming is good enough. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]
