Zihuatanejo's main attraction is its well-protected
bay where boaters often spend the winter months
moored in its peaceful clear waters.
The
bay offers various beaches for relaxation, recreation,
dining,
or simply enjoying the abundantly beautiful scenery.
Ixtapa is a government-planned
tourist resort that was begun in the early 1970's and constructed
on what was once a coconut plantation. Zihuatanejo has the
old-fashioned charm of traditional Mexican culture while Ixtapa
is more akin to a transplanted miniature of modern Acapulco.
There you'll find high-rise hotels lining the beach, modern
condominiums (including time-shares), pricey shops, discoteques,
and flambouyant restaurants.
Until the early 1970's Zihuatanejo was a sleepy fishing village
with only a handful of families and residents. It was then
(and continues to be) a favorite getaway for the "beautiful
people" and a few adventurous gringos (NOTE - the word "gringo"
is synonymous with United States citizen, but is also used
loosely referring to anyone who doesn't look Latin or Asian;
it is NOT a derogatory term).
In Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo you will enjoy all the water sports...
ski, parachute ride, snorkeling, jet-ski, banana boat ride,
water tricycles, sail-boards, surfing and many more.
Sports available on Playa La Ropa, Playa Las Gatas, Playa
El Palmar, Playa Linda and Playa Quieta beaches and also at
the Island.
Of course, you don't need to rent anything to have a fun time
swimming, playing beach volleyball or soccer, jogging or taking
a breath-hold dive to see if you can find one of our clams,
among the many other activities that you can do in our beaches.
