Playa Larga
Located within the same bay of Playa Blanca is Playa Larga. This can sometimes cause confusion; although it is a single beach, it is divided into two sections. Together it covers more than 19 km of coastline. Playa Larga receives more open sea waves, so it is dangerous to swim here, but being a semi-virgin beach, makes it perfect for long romantic walks or some gentle horseback riding. Here you can enjoy some spectacular views away from all the commotion of downtown. Like all of our beaches here, catching a sunset here is a must, but even more special since it is less crowded. It is 10 minutes from the airport of Ixtapa Zihuatanejo and 25 from the hotel zone.

La Saladita
