Zihuatanejo Fish Market (Playa Principal)
17° 38.3′ N · 101° 33.4′ W
An open-air fish market under the palms on the main beach, where pangas land straight onto the sand and the catch (red snapper, tuna, the odd marlin) goes on sale on tarps.
Practical
Position is the OpenStreetMap outline of Playa Principal. Go early, when the pangas come in. Whole fish are easy to buy; one cruiser who asked for fillets was turned down, so be ready to clean your own (2026).
