Zihuatanejo cruise port guide
Since its humble beginnings as a fishing village, Zihuatanejo has grown into a popular destination, yet still maintains its charms and traditional Mexican town atmosphere. Its ring of beautiful beaches and Zihuatanejo Bay make for great snorkeling, sailing, water skiing, with sport fishing being a major attraction. Meander along the brick-paved “fisherman’s walk” that stretches along the town center, or enjoy local fare and beverages at one of the many restaurants and cafés overlooking the beach. If you’re looking for a faster-paced day (or night) on the town, double your Mexican pleasure by visiting the more cosmopolitan Ixtapa, located just a few miles north of Zihuatanejo.
About Zihuatanejo
Zihuatanejo is a small, authentic fishing town on the Pacific coast of Guerrero state, Mexico, immediately adjacent to the purpose-built resort of Ixtapa. The sheltered Zihuatanejo bay with its small fishing boats, the Playa La Ropa beach, and the seafood restaurants on the beach promenade contrast pleasantly with Ixtapa's hotel zone. Cruise ships anchor in the bay.
