Playa Linda Ixtapa
A beach that got it's name because it's so beautiful! A bit longer than 1 kilometer; Playa Linda is located in front of Ixtapa Island. Playa Linda's pier is where you can take a boat to get to La Isla with regular departures until 5 PM. This beach has some stony areas, open sea breezes, and medium height waves, The Ixtapa River mouth is located on this beach and because of this, we recommend for you to be careful in this area. This is especially true during the rainy season, but the remainder of the year is usually a very calm beach featuring astounding beauty.
Playa Linda is very popular for both tourists and locals. Here is where you will find the cycling course, crocodile reserve, Aztlan Park, shopping, and camping or staying in the RV Trailer Park. It's a great place to enjoy a natural adventure in Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo.
¿What to do and see?
Playa Linda has a Commercial area where shopping is fun and full of culture. Here you will find many handcrafts, swimwear, souvenirs, food, ice cold coconuts and more. The Voladores de Papantla —Papantla Flyers— is a traditional ceremony you can see every weekend on this plaza that will leave you awestruck. This ancient ritual is believed to help fertility and harvesting; in 2009, it was named an "Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity". It is best to arrive there early for better photos.
The Crocodile Reserve of Playa Linda Ixtapa is the perfect place to admire these beautiful animals, and also turtles, iguanas and different bird species. These natural inhabitants of the region are a very popular attraction and a great way to learn about the enviroment with the family.
You cannot talk about the reserve without mentioning one of the Iconic Zancas of Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo; Tamakún 'Rey de los Cocodrilos' —Crocodile King. It is because of this man's tremendous effort and persistence, this special area has been preserved as a sanctuary. Eroberto Piza Rios, with his singular style and love for the crocodiles, used to go every day to feed, play, and take care of this protected species. Now, his age and health just allows him to go once in a while to check on his friends at their home. So good luck! Maybe you will be lucky enough to see him.
