A quiet bay with some boats. Can be easily walked around in a couple hours. Not busy at all when we were there in April.

I loved the bay... Beautiful setting with lots to do. Restaurants, activities, nice walking paths. You can basically walk from Las Gatas (if you're careful) all the way to the pier in the city.

Less then an hour from Zihua, Barra de Potosi is a small fishing village on the very long and beautiful isolated beach called Playa Blanco. Avi, (aka Sharkboy) grew up in Barra and knows the waters intimately. He will meet you for a half day of touring the waters in his boat - exploring the mangrove channels, birdwatching and learning...

Zihuatanejo is the most beautiful Bay! We have been coming here for the past 10 years and fall in love over and over again! The restaurants, the friendly locals, the shops the beaches and sunsets are all just a small part of the beauty! We loved it so much we built a home here in 2012! You must put Zihuatanejo... More

We stayed on the hill over looking the bay and it is one of the most beautiful views you can have. The sunsets over the bay are just spectacular as you look out to the Pacific ocean. Not to be missed.

One of the nicest views ever! You'll never tire of looking out around the bay. With the town of Zihuatanejo at one end and Playa Los Gatos at the other.

We are Club Intrawest members and so this is a great place to get some sun and relax after a week skiing in Whistler. Easy flights from Vancouver to Ixtapa with Alaskan. This is our second visit from the UK and we really love its relaxed atmosphere. Great to walk along the beach which is pretty clean and safe. The... More

They have other cruise schedules, that take you for a longer period of time. I took the Sunset Cruise on the evening of Spring Equinox. Captain Tony is awesome. He points out things of interest. Open free bar! Lots of margaritas. And a nice chicken skewer snack with chips and guacamole, and rice. The Picante. Well worth the ticket. Beautiful... More
