Ixtapa, Guerrero, Mexico

We reached Playa Linda in Ixtapa to take a ferry to Ixtapa island from there. We had initially thought of spending some time at Playa Linda but it was underwhelming and the queue for taking a boat to Ixtapa Island was quite long. We bought tickets and reached the island in about 15-20 minutes by boat. We first went to Playa Coral which as the name suggests is a Coral beach. The beach was quite rocky, difficult to walk around without footwear. The water was also murky so nothing much to see while snorkeling. We then went to Playa Varadero which is much better. The soft light sand and calm waters made it ideal to just play around in water with my little niece who is quite scared of big waves. They have lot of options for water sports as well there, I wasn't interested in them, sis and hub went for some ride though.Read more
