The Pacific Coast surf town of Zihuatanejo (often shortened to “Zihua”) has a natural beauty that is equal parts alluring and hard to reach (hence the lack of crowds).
Tourists keep going back for the cliffs and ravines blanketed by mangroves, scooped-out bays, and a backdrop of the Sierra Madre del Sur mountains. Zihua has four beaches that are reachable from the city center, the best – and most remote – being Playa Las Gatas.
The white sand and cyan lagoon are perfect for lounging with a beer, snorkeling, and maybe spotting a humpback whale on the horizon.
