I have not gone to this beach very much but it is the most popular beach in Zihua I think. My problem with it is that it is too crowded. More

We stayed along Playa la Ropa for 10 days. The beach was pretty clean. Was surprised to see how cold the water was in April but after laying under the hot sun it was refreshing! There are many restaurants along the beach that want your business. Many offer 2 for 1 drinks, happy hour, special prices. There are many people... More

Beautiful beach! There are plenty of activities to keep you entertained or you can simply enjoy the sun and sea:-) We chose the later. There are a few restaurants along the beach and they offer great food and drinks at a good price. More
