Playa Blanca (Barra de Potosí)
17° 34.7′ N · 101° 27.2′ W
The northern end of the long, empty beach that sweeps south from Zihuatanejo toward Barra de Potosí, backed by palms and a few small hotels; a quiet alternative to the town beaches.
Practical
Position from OpenStreetMap (node 10261081251). It is an open surf beach facing SW: no shelter for anchoring and a heavy shore break in any swell, so visit by road or by dinghy only on a flat day. The Morros de Potosí rocks lie offshore to the west (see 'Los Morros de Potosí (Zihuatanejo)').
Best for
A long, quiet walking beach
