Ixtapa Zihuatanejo beach

Ixtapa is a popular beach on the Pacific coast of Mexico. The place is beautiful. There are a lot of palms, entry into the water is smooth, while there is an great view of the mountains around. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people here. In addition, there are usually strong waves in the water. So it makes sense to think about other beaches nearby - especially those located inside Zihuatanejo bay. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]

Fly to Zihuatanejo airport (ZIH). Then take a bus or hire a taxi.

When to go [edit]

The best time to relax on the beaches of Pacific coast in Mexico is a warm period in the summer half of the year. Since sea water is too cold in winter.
