Mexico’s Pacific coastline features endless sandy beaches and pounding surf set against the stunning forested backdrop of the Sierra Madre mountains. Top recommendations for stays on the Pacific coast include Zihuatanejo and Punta Mita. Playa de La Ropa in Zihuatanejo, a quintessential Mexican beach town with a laid-back atmosphere, is one of the most beautiful beaches in Mexico. Meanwhile, Punta Mita, at the northern end of Bahia de Banderas and set away from the popular beach destination of Puerta Vallarta, has evolved from a sleepy village into a resort destination with fine hotels and tourist facilities including a Jack Nicklaus designed golf course.
