The main beach in Ixtapa is called Playa El Palmar and if you like a beach lined with high-rise hotels then this is for you.

There is a smaller somewhat secluded beach fronting the Westin Hotel called Playa Vista Hermosa which is semi-private and accessible through the Westin.

But very near Ixtapa is an island called Isla Ixtapa which is accessible by water-taxi from the new pier at Playa Linda about a half-mile past the "Club Med."

It's a little crowded with restaurants and boaters, but I would still recommend it for snorkeling.
