About Zihuatanejo

Full of life and beautiful scenery, Zihuatanejo (pronounced zee-watt-a-NEH-ho) has retained its charm as a small, sleepy fishing village. Dotted with golden, sandy beaches and surrounded by warm, calm waters, this is the perfect place to relax with a frozen margarita and soak up the sun.

If you’re feeling more energetic, then there are a whole range of water sports to be enjoyed, including snorkelling and scuba diving. Or else take to the water on a trimaran or a fishing boat.

Heading away from the beach, you may wish to soak up the authentic atmosphere as you stroll down the cobbled streets of the village and mingle with the friendly locals. For a real taste of Mexico, a trip to the farmers market is a must. The downtown area of El Centro is also great for souvenir shopping, as is the promenade, Paseo del Pescador.

A trip to the neighbouring resort of Ixtapa is also worth a visit, with its vast tropical gardens and marina.
