Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo Vacations
|
Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo offers 14 unspoiled beaches, excellent golf courses, and quality shopping. Tennis courts and a yacht marina, add to this exciting destination. You will enjoy exploring the turtles, fish, and pelicans at El Morro de Los Pericos as well as excursions by boat to Ixtapa Island (the location for the filming of Robinson Crusoe).
Ixtapa borders a wide bay dotted with small rocky islands inhabited solely by sea birds. The beach in town, Play del Mar, is a two-mile stretch of white sand that gave Ixtapa its Nahuatl Indian name of “The White Place.”
Zihuatenejo, an old fishing village, has cobblestone streets with restaurants, shopping and art galleries. The area’s three beaches invite all water sports. In addition, the waters off Zihuatanejo are famed for their abundance of game fish including sailfish, marlin, and roostser fish.
Ixtapa offers an abundance of hotel choices while Zihuatanejo provides smaller accommodations in most price ranges.
