Zihuatanejo Beaches

Playa Las Gatas
(Las Gatas Beach)

 

If you like snorkeling then Playa Las Gatas is ideal whether you're a beginner or an old-hand; it has a reef that forms a haven from the waves, although surfers can sometimes be seen catching waves as they curl around the entrance to the bay.

Las Gatas has over a dozen restaurants specializing in seafood, so it can be a little confusing trying to decide where to throw your towel. Near the beginning of the beach is a great little place called "Chez Arnoldo" where my friend Noyo and his family run a tight ship!

Good service, great food, and an unbeatable view of Zihuatanejo with the Sierra Madre Del Sur as a backdrop.
Rather breathtaking even for the locals! At the very end of Las Gatas Beach you'll find Owen Lee's Beach Club: a nature preserve in a South Seas style setting (Owen was the first American to work as an underwater photographer aboard the Calypso with Jacques Cousteau and also wrote various diving manuals for PADI).

The restaurant there is recommended and he also has some great bungalows for rent. It feels very much like paradise there all the time! Be sure to ask about the paved walkway to the lighthouse (El Faro) if you want to see a really spectacular view from its cliffs of the coastline from Ixtapa to Los Morros de De Potosí.
