Zihuatanejo sailfish

Z

ihuatanejo (Zee-what-an-ney-ho) is a quaint, truly old Mexico village, a short flight from the U.S. border. It has white sand beaches, somereally cool fresh fish restaurants, golf, a mellow lifestyle, and a local population of genial and laid back amigos. If this isn't enough, the flat waters off Zihuatanejo Bay offer the best darned deep sea fishing bargain to be found anywhere. It's a price that wants to make you stay forever! There is extraordinary offshore fishing for sailfish, tuna, dolphin, roosterfish and marlin from this quaint Mexican coastal village where the hotel overlooks the bay.
