Located about 100 miles up the Pacific coast from Acapulco, Ixtapa offers a distinct style of beach vacation. At one end of the strip of Ixtapa hotels is the marina, where you'll find oceanside restaurants and golfing. Some visitors to the area also choose to explore Zihuatanejo, only 4 miles away, which boasts scenic walking paths along its downtown cobblestone streets and the charming Paseo del Pescador. Both cities enjoy a marvelous coastline and plenty of activities.
