Playa la Madera

Playa la Madera serves up beachy bliss without the tourist crush. Golden sands meet gentle waves along this swimmable stretch of Zihuatanejo's coast. The scenic Paseo del Pescador walkway lets you stroll from your beachfront palapa to downtown, coconut in hand. Local vendors dot the shoreline while snorkelers explore rocky outcroppings in the crystal-clear bay. Beachfront restaurants dish out fresh seafood and cold beers under the palms. Most accommodations are boutique hotels and vacation rentals with ocean views. Getting around is simple—the area is wonderfully walkable, though taxis are readily available for longer trips.

Playa La Ropa

La Ropa Beach curves like a golden smile along Zihuatanejo's most beautiful shoreline. Boutique hotels and upscale vacation rentals cascade down jungle-covered hillsides, their infinity pools reflecting the Pacific's turquoise waters. Spend your days swimming in calm waters, kayaking along the coast, or watching local artisans display handwoven textiles along sandy walkways. Palapa-roofed restaurants serve fresh grilled fish and coconut shrimp with sunset ocean views. Most visitors rely on taxis to explore beyond the beach, though the sandy shoreline itself is perfect for peaceful evening strolls. The tranquil atmosphere makes this upscale area ideal for travelers seeking refined coastal relaxation.

Playa Las Gatas

Playa Las Gatas offers a slice of beach paradise. The crescent-shaped shoreline boasts golden sand and calm turquoise waters protected by a natural reef. Spend your day snorkeling among colorful fish, lounging under palm-thatched palapas, or strolling the water's edge with views of Zihuatanejo Bay. Beach clubs and casual restaurants serve up fresh-caught seafood and cold drinks right on the sand. Vacation homes and hotels dot the hillside above the shore. The secluded environment provides a peaceful escape from the nearby busier areas.

Cerro del Vigia

Perched on a hillside overlooking Zihuatanejo Bay, Cerro del Vigia treats you to jaw-dropping ocean views that'll make your Instagram followers weep with envy. This quiet residential haven feels miles away from tourist crowds while still keeping you close to the action. Take morning walks along winding streets and snap panoramic photos of the bay below before heading to nearby Las Gatas Beach. The neighborhood features upscale vacation rentals with private pools where you can sip margaritas with a sunset backdrop. You'll need to venture into downtown Zihuatanejo for restaurants and shopping since this area is primarily residential. Taxis are your best bet for getting around the steep terrain, though renting a car gives you more freedom to explore surrounding beaches.
