Barra de Potosí

When approaching the Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo airport by air, you can see a formation of rocks not far from shore, a lagoon and a large beach. This is Barra de Potosí. About a 45-minute drive from Zihuatanejo, Barra de Potosi is a relaxing beach that really gets you away from it all. The beach restaurants have hammocks and lots of cold beer, and the waves are gentle enough that even children can generally swim in the ocean. If the waves look a bit rough, the lagoon is a good way for the family to cool off.

don't miss: Lying in a hammock in the shade while sipping a cold beer and watching the gorgeous view.

just the facts, ma'am: Numerous different activities are available, including kayak rentals, boat rentals, swimming, boogie boarding, and sunbathing.

meet me @: To get to Barra de Potosí from Zihuatanejo, follow the signs for Highway 200 to Acapulco, and take a right about 20 minutes later at the sign for Barra de Potosí. Follow the extremely bumpy road until you find the restaurant of your choice. If you go all the way to the end of the road, you have many restaurants to choose from.
