Playa La Ropa is consistently recognized as one of the most romantic beaches in Mexico by TripAdvisor. It always ranks well. Calm waters make for the perfect paddle boarding, and hiking from one end to the other is not out of the question. The beach is named The name La Ropa recalls a colonial-era ship loaded with fine fabrics. It sunk off the coast and somehow the muslin cloth, woven goods from Bombay, ribbons, shawls, and stockings from China, all ran aground here. The name has stuck ever since.
Smack in the middle of Zihuatenejo, La Ropa is likely the most popular of the several beaches in town. It was named by the New York Times in 2022 as one of the best beaches in Mexico. La Ropa has everything that Playa del Mar in nearby Ixtapa has, but it\'s a bit more personal, smaller, and more tranquil. In lively Zihuatenejo, that\'s saying something.
The beach is of course, flanked by restaurants and eateries. These get a special send off with every sunset. The Blue Flag certification means the water quality, services, environmental education, and similar services are among the best in the region.
