Introduction
Playa la Ropa is the largest and most convenient beach on Zihuatanejo's main bay; its name comes from a Spanish galleon wrecked at the bay mouth whose cargo of clothing (ropa) washed ashore. Fine sand and calm water line up with restaurants and loungers — the most comfortable spot for sunset and seafood.
