An absolutely beautiful, clean, coco sand beach, excellent for long walks in the morning or early evening, some good waves, super warm water temperature in November, baby turtles were hatching, and mama turtles were laying eggs at night while we were there early November.

Reviewed By rejuvenate - Manitoba, Canada
like vast, it stretches for miles and miles and can you say uncrowded, oh my goodness, not a soul in sight and even if there were, there's more than enough room for all so picturesque, the sparkly ocean at its side, with mountains and hills its backdrop remarkably unspoilt in its pristine coastal location its golden fine sands make it perfect for walking and running (just don't cross it in the afternoon!) with great caution advised - the crashing waves at its shoreline demand respect make it spectacular and magnificent all the same the perfect place to lose yourself and just breathe grateful to experience such wondrous beauty!!

Reviewed By mayadee - Vancouver, Canada
So beautiful, and so much marine life to see. You can walk into the water and see beautiful colourful fish, or you can gather some snorkelling equipment and swim a bit further out (maybe another 10 meters out) to see puffer fish, parrot fishes, starfish, and underwater sculptures.

10. Playa Las Gatas
Overall Ratings

"Nurse Shark Beach" is a fun beach to explore and reachable only by boat.
Reviewed By Neftist
Las Gatas Beach is a little bay just off of Playa La Ropa. You can get there by ferry from downtown Zihuatanejo(50 pesos round trip), take a taxi from La Ropa or use the foot path(Not for the elderly or those with mobility issues as there's quite a few rocks to traverse and don't wear your flip flops). Whereas the surf can get kind of rough on La Ropa, there were barely ripples in the water at Las Gatas. Great for snorkeling(Snorkle equipment can be rented right on the beach for about $5) or just wading in the water. Tons of little beach bars up and down the beach if you need to get out of the sun at all or just want a Margarita as big as your head.(Make sure to have cash. Not sure if any of them take cards)
