Both Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo are small and
easy to know. Zihuatanejo's little Plaza de Armas town
square overlooks the main beach, Playa Municipal, just
beyond the palm-lined pedestrian walkway, Paseo del Pescador.
From the plaza looking out toward the bay, you are facing
south. On your right is the muelle (moo-AY-yay), and on the
left, the bay curves along the outer beaches Playas La Ropa,
Madera, and finally Las Gatas beneath the far Punta El Faro
(Lighthouse Point).
Turning around and facing inland (north), you see a narrow
waterfront street, Juan Alvarez, running parallel to the
beach past the plaza, crossing the main business streets
(actually tranquil shady lanes) Cuauhtémoc and Guerrero. A
third street, busy Benito Juárez, one block to the right of
Guerrero, conducts traffic several blocks to and from the
shore, passing the market and intersecting a second main
street, Av. Morelos. There, a right turn will soon bring you
to Hwy.200 and, within five miles, Ixtapa.
Nearly everything in Ixtapa lies along one three-mile-long
boulevard, Paseo Ixtapa, which parallels the main beach,
hotel-lined Playa del Palmar. Heading westerly from
Zihuatanejo, you first pass the Club de Golf Ixtapa, then
the big Barceló on the left, followed by a succession of
other high-rise hotels. Soon come the Zona Comercial
shopping malls and the Paseo de las Garzas corner on the
right. Turn right for either Hwy. 200 or the outer beaches,
Playas Cuata, Quieta, Linda, and Larga. At Playa Linda,
boats continue to heavenly Isla Ixtapa.
If, instead, you continued straight ahead back at the Paseo
de las Garzas corner, you would soon reach the Marina Ixtapa
condo development and yacht harbor.
