Ixtapa
Island
It's a 10-minute boat ride from here to Ixtapa Island, where you can spend
the day eating, sunning, and swimming.
Playa
Linda
If you want to venture out of this compact resort area, take a taxi 15
minutes up the coast to Playa Linda.
Quieta
Beach
About 300 meters (01. miles) long. The Island is in front of this white-yellow
sand beach, so waves are soft most of the time. Access through a hotel's
gate located on its shore, it is a public beach but the gate is closed
at night.
Ixtapa
Island
The most popular beach on Ixtapa Island is Playa Cuachalalate, named for
a local tree whose bark has been used as a remedy for kidney ailments
since ancient times. This beach is lined with good seafood eateries and
is excellent for swimming. A short walk across to the other side of the
island takes you to the gorgeous sandy Varadero Beach. Playa Carey, toward
the south end of the island, is small and isolated. Pangas (little boats)
run between the boat landings at both Cuachalalate and Varadero beaches
and Playa Linda on the mainland.
El
Palmar Beach
This is a semi-open bay of about 2 kms long with white and fine sands.
Many water sports available including parachute rides. Since it is considered
as an open sea beach, hotels will post water condition with flags. This
beach has lifeguards on duty.
Playa
Del Palmar
Ixtapa's main beach, this 3-km- (2-mi-) long broad sandy stretch runs
the length of the hotel zone. Water-sports facilities are available all
along the shore. Since this is essentially open sea, the surf can be quite
strong.
Linda
Beach
Located north of Ixtapa in open sea. Here is the pier where you can embark
for a visit to the island. Good place for surfing. At the entrance (away
from the shoreline and with fences) you will see a small swamp with alligators.
If you would like to visit the surrounding area, take a horseback riding
tour up to Pantla River from this point.
