Description:

Spend a day at Playa Las Gatas, a picturesque and protected cove. Enjoy a Mexican lunch and a drink on the beach, and then dive into the turquoise waters to swim, snorkel, and explore the colorful sea life of the nearby coral reef.

After you're picked up from your hotel, set off from the Zihuatanejo pier for a short cruise out to the brilliant blue inlet of Playa Las Gatas. Named for the catlike whiskers on the sharks that used to lurk off the coast, today this lively beach is a snorkeler's paradise. The offshore coral reef forms a protective barrier, making this a calm haven for vibrant tropical fish.

Admire the El Faro lighthouse, perched atop the rugged coastline, as you savor a drink and a light Mexican lunch on the white-sand beach. If you like, you can splash back into the waves for some more exciting aquatic activities. Kayaks, snorkel gear, and WaveRunners® are all available to rent, and parasailing is a high-flying option for adventurous beachgoers.
