Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

lots of flea market shops, overpriced and they don"t barter at all.
beach is nice to walk on.
They have mexican male dancers on the ground and they also climb up a pole probably 60Ft. in the air they hang from ropes and do different positions very entertaining. We saw them perform around 1030-11 am. and in the afternoon.
there little crocodile area is nice with some very long crocodiles. Nice birds especially the Rose Spoonbill Heren birds.

This is a great place to visit for the day. The water is calmer. We went on a Saturday, so it was really busy with all the locals coming with their families.
There's also a coral reef within walking distance, if your are interested in snorkeling.
They have chairs, umbrellas, tables, etc. Also drinks and food are available.

We traveled here from Ixtapa twice. We caught the local bus for 14 pesos each. The water taxi over the the island was about 10 minutes. We visited the second beach and walked 100 meters to a third beach to snorkel. We saw lots of fish but the coral isn't very colorful. This beach was quite rocky so be careful. The second beach was absolutely beautiful for swimming and the view of the hills on the mainland was spectacular.

The beach is big and nice hard sand to walk on and make sandcastles. Market at the pier is very cool, but zihua is cheaper for everything thats there if you are already going. The croc pen is awesome to see as well.

For a public beach it exceeded my expectation. Very clean and safe, for the most part off of the beaches in the ixtapa area were clean and safe during the daylight. I would recommend ixtapa beaches hotels and restaurants for a family trip.

Spent a Saturday there with all the locals and their families. This is a beautiful beach to walk and to swim at. Lots of places to eat, go parasailing, or ride the banana boat. Quick 14 pesos bus ride from Ixtapa. You can also enjoy the crocodiles that are in the lagoon there. They are penned up!

As soon as you get off the bus, there is a platform you can walk to,and there are crocodiles ,and wood storks and bright pink Spoonbills. Amazing to see. Walking from the platform you can see some of the biggest Iguanas I've ever seen. There are of course wonderful market shops and look for the Mexican Indian Pole where they spiral down from 60 meters I believe it was. Take the ferry over to Ixtapa Island. All was an amazing visit for both my wife and myself. We were never bored, we went there three times.

Long flat beach in front of the Azul Resort. The sand is dark and hard packed. Easy to walk on. Lots of water activities on the beach (para-sailing, banana boat rides, sea-dos). Some restaurants and shops at the north end of the beach along with the crocodile reserve.
Pier for water taxis to Ixtapa Island also at the North end of the beach. Local fisherman bring their catch by their pier each morning.

We rent bikes from downtown Ixtapa hotel zone. They have well-built bike path all the way to the Playa Linda. It is a long beach good for swimming. Also, there is an area fenced around with lots of crocodiles and turtles inside. Lots of exotic birds on the trees. Around the beach, there are lots of vendors selling drinks and snakes. The bike trail is shaded by trees that made is very pleasant to ride. It took about 40minutes each way very easy. Bike rental is about 60 peso an hour with helmet direction included.

Me podrÃas comentar si hay lugares para hospedarse cerca que no sean muy caros??
Written 27 July 2018
en playa linda creo hay mas hoteles todo incluido y de diferentes presupuestos yo te recomendaria alguno de estos o mejor quedarte en ixtapa (centro) hay mas variedad de hoteles, playa linda tambièn pertenece a ixtapa pero esta a la orilla de la zona hotelera de ixtapa no esta muy lejos playa linda si solo quieres ir 1 dia a playa linda es mejor quedarse donde hay mas hoteles y te queda mas cercano para ir a zihuatanejo

We stayed at Club Med. Best guess is 1.5 miles onthe road. Cannot walk on beach all the way. Cheap cab ride too like $5 USA. But frankly, we didn’t find anything appealing about this beach. Club Med’s beach is way nicer!

El cocodrilario que se encuentra junto al hotel Qualton y la ciclovÃa es gratis ya que cuenta con un mirador "a pie de carretera" y allà no hay nadie que forme parte de empresa alguna.

What days do they have the flea market? Any certain time to see the most wildlife?
Written 27 November 2016
Take the bike path early before 9, youll see the path across from the hotels or christine night club, take all the way thru the jungle to the playa linda crocodile exhibit, buy some mangos from the girl chopping coconuts at her dtand, and turn around and feed the iguanas, they will start coming down from the trees. So cool.
The little in town flea market is open everyday
