TRONCONES

MEXICO’S BEST KEPT SECRET

Home to just 750 people, the quaint fishing village of Troncones may well be Mexico’s best kept secret. Located 20 miles north of the Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo International Airport, the town has a friendly vibe and is lively, without feeling touristy. Tasty local restaurants feature seafood caught fresh daily, just offshore. Specialties include grilled lobster and octopus—or red snapper, served whole and filleted tableside.

For those who seek new experiences, there is much to discover. Walk barefoot on three miles of unspoiled sand beaches. Ride the waves at one of Troncones’ internationally acclaimed surfing spots. Hike or mountain bike the Sierra Madre mountains. Shop the local fruit and vegetable stands. The possibilities are endless.
