Zihuatanejo Centro & Fishermen's Pier
Centro / Paseo del Pescador
A small town centre that keeps its fishing-village charm. At dawn fishermen sell their catch on the main beach, and restaurants and shops line the seaside promenade.
The town centre sits right beside the main beach, Playa Principal. At dawn, fishing boats come ashore and fishermen sell the day's mahi-mahi and tuna on the sand. Along the Fisherman's Walk you can reach the pier and take a boat to Las Gatas and Ixtapa Island. The alleys of the town centre hold a craft market, seafood restaurants and burrito stands. A signature local dish is Zihuatanejo-style raw fish, known as tiritas. In the evenings, locals often gather in the square.
