In downtown Zihuatanejo, shops and restaurants are within a few blocks' walking distance of the plaza. For the beaches, walk along the beachfront andador (walkway) to Madera, take a taxi ($2) to La Ropa, and a launch from the pier ($3) to Las Gatas. For Ixtapa or the outer beaches, take a taxi (about $5) or ride one of the very frequent minibuses, labeled by destination, which leave from the east corner of Juárez and Morelos. A taxi ride between central Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo runs about $4. In Ixtapa itself, walk or ride the minibuses that run along Paseo Ixtapa.

Museo Arqueología de la Costa Grande

The small Museo Arqueología de la Costa Grande on the beachfront side of Alvarez, near the Guerrero corner, details the archaeological history of the Costa Grande. Maps, drawings small dioramas, and artifacts-many donated by local resident and innkeeper Anita Rellstab-illustrate the development of local cultures, from early hunting and gathering to agriculture and, finally, urbanization by the time of the conquest. Open Tues.-Sun.9a.m.-8p.m.
