Made famous in The Shawshank Redemption, this old-world fishing village is nestled inside beautiful, protected beaches. You won’t find any high-rises here—just small, family-run hotels and bed and breakfasts. Nightlife is scarce, so if you’re in search of a fiesta, Zihuatanejo is not the place for you. But if you’re looking for a quiet getaway with your loved one, don’t miss this tiny slice of paradise!
Zihuatanejo - Take a sunset cruise or snorkeling tour—seek out arrangements through the many local operators once you’ve arrived in the village.
Kayak tours (offered by Zoe Kayak Tours) to the beautiful lagoon at Barra de Potosí make for a great afternoon activity.
