Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo sportfishing may be the best keep secret in all of Mexico. Sailfish are abundant year around, Blue and Black Marlin are present most of the year, world record size Yellowfin Tuna come in the spring along with the big Bull Dorados. Big Roosterfish run the surf and Tiger Grouper, Snapper and Houndfish to 4' surround the rocks of Morros de Potosi.
Zihuatanejo is located in the state of Guerrero on the Pacific Coast of
Mexico about 240km (approx. 144 miles) northwest of Acapulco. The modern tourist resort of
Ixtapa is only 5km distant. Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo are the contrasts of modern Mexico.
Zihuatanejo is the original settlement and the actual town. Ixtapa is a government-planned
tourist resort that was begun in the early 1970's and constructed on what was once a
coconut plantation. Zihuatanejo has the old-fashioned charm of traditional Mexican culture
while Ixtapa is more akin to a transplanted miniature of modern Acapulco. There you'll
find high-rise hotels lining the beach, modern condominiums (including time-shares),
pricey shops, discothèques, and flamboyant restaurants.
