About Ixtapa Zihuatanejo
Zihuatanejo Bay
Ixtapa Zihuatanejo and its neighboring, growing communities of Troncones Beach and Barra de Potosi, are located in the Pacific coast state of Guerrero, Mexico on what is known as the “Costa Grande”. This “great coast” encompasses the Pacific shoreline from Acapulco northward to the border of the state of Michoacan.
These twin localities form a special part of Mexico, with a largely symbiotic relationship between modern, comfort-rich Ixtapa — with its golf courses, manicured boulevards and deluxe hotel accommodations — and Zihuatanejo, a growing but still small town that clings to its fishing roots, with a typical municipal market, one of the most gorgeous bays in the world, protected beaches, early-morning roosters and a slow-moving pace.
Ixtapa from the sea
Ixtapa Zihuatanejo is a place where first-time visitors tend quickly to become regulars, where new-comers scheme about how to return — be it next month or next season — and stay longer. Our tropical, white sanded beaches are lined with coconut palms in whose peaceful shade the unsuspecting visitor can be entrapped and enchanted for life… beware!
