  • Top Attractions

    Beaches
    Zihuatanejo bay offers shelter from summer storms, safe swimming, and some of Mexico’s most stunning beaches. With crystal blue water and sandy shores, it’s no wonder so many choose this quaint town for their get-away. Make sure to visit Playa La Ropa for swimming and watersports and Playa Las Gratos for snorkeling.

    Seafood
    Nestled right against the coast, this fishing town is known for its seafood. When in Zihuatanejo, be sure to order whatever is fresh. With restaurants cooking up the day’s catch right off the boat, you can’t go wrong.

    Xihuacan Ruins
    Just 25 minutes away, these ancient ruins offer an afternoon of adventure and history. Originally built by a Mesoamerican group living in the region, this site includes a temple and a ball field, both of which were buried in a natural disaster, and not seen again until 1941.

    Jungle Walk
    Lace up your hiking shoes and take a walk through the jungle! While it’s not wise to stray from the path, Playa Linda offers walking trails that take hikers through densely vined jungle, marshland, and past plenty of wildlife.
