It’s not as hard to pronounce as you might think – and it’s one of the less-crowded resort areas in Mexico. Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo (“eesh-TAH-pah zee-hwah-tah-NAY-hoe”) is actually two communities, the second of which is essentially the “county seat,” while the other is a government-planned tourist resort.

Located in the Mexican state of Guerrero, Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo is considered to be un pequeno paradiso, or “a little paradise” by locals. Although Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo offers a full range of tourist services and activities, chances are that if you’re reading this, you’re mainly interested in the sport fishing!

It’s no secret that the Pacific Coast of Mexico is a prime area for deep-sea sport fishing, but Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo may actually be primo entre pares (“first among equals”) in that regard. In fact, experienced sport fishermen regard Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo as being one of the three best areas in the world for catching the big ocean game like marlin and sailfish.

Going out a mere ten miles from the shore, sport fishermen will find marlin as large as half a ton that will provide a truly challenging sport fishing experience (one such catch took nine hours and seven men to land!). In addition, there are plentiful stocks of yellow-knife tuna (up to 300 lbs.) and mahi-mahi.

Sport fishiermen preferring to stick closer to shore will find equally challenging catches; among them are roosterfish, pargo, macherel and barracuda.
