Beautiful place to have dinner and stay for sunset. There is a small restaurant that serves amazing fresh fish and very good drinks. Family friendly.

The golden glow of the setting sun highlights the many sail boats in Zihuatanejo Bay.  Thus week is Zihua Sailfest, where the boats come once a year and offer sail and music cruises for donations to local schools.

We love the fishing! View of the ocean! Walking everywhere! Lots of taxis and friendly people. Fresh cooked seafood! Best combinations for a small seaport but big enough with a lot to do.
