Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo beaches: plan your visit

Playa La Ropa

La Ropa is one of the Zihuatanejo beaches featured in the municipal visitor information. It is a starting point for planning a beach day in the area.

Find the beach in the Costa catalog and check its location. If you are visiting a restaurant or need parking, confirm access, availability, and terms directly; not every service is part of the public beach.

Playa Las Gatas

Las Gatas is another local beach listed in the municipal visitor information. If you want to book an activity, ask about the experience required and what is included.

If you arrange a boat transfer, agree on the departure point, price, and return arrangements from the start. Do not rely on a schedule you have not confirmed.

Playa El Palmar

El Palmar is listed among the Ixtapa beaches by the destination tourism office. Look up the specific place you want to reach, not just the beach name.

Choose a confirmed public access point and follow posted advisories. A photograph of calm water does not necessarily show what conditions will be like on your visit.

Before choosing a beach

You can browse the Costa Inteligente catalog and map without an account. Available information varies by location; confirm any essential details before leaving.

• Check your outward and return journeys, especially if you depend on a boat.
• Confirm the services you need: food, bathrooms, parking, or activities.
• Check wind and waves for your date, and follow flags and local instructions.
• Bring water, sun protection, and a bag to take your rubbish back with you.
