The twin cities of Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo (sometimes the two are referred to as Ixta-Zihua) are anything but identical. It’s the perfect vacation destionation for travelers looking for a round of golf on a lush, green course followed by a leisurely lunch of lobster bisque and champagne. Travelers who would rather poke through an outdoor Mexican market and then amble over to the beach where fisherfolk are mending their nets should head 4 miles down the coast to Zihuatanejo (zee-wha-tah-NEH-ho).
Mexico’s tourism-development agency dreamed up Ixtapa when trying to create a Pacific-coast Mexican resort area. Zihuatanejo, on the other hand, is a traditional Mexico fishing village that has been around for centuries. Whatever Mexican beach vacation travelers prefer, one of these towns should suit everyone.
