Playa Quieta, Pacific beach in Ixtapa, Mexico.
The 300-meter stretch of golden sand faces Ixtapa Island, creating natural pools near the entrance and offering clear waters for swimming.
The development of Playa Quieta occurred during the 1970s transformation of Ixtapa from a coconut plantation into a planned tourist destination.
Local vendors along the beach prepare fresh seafood dishes and offer traditional Mexican coastal cuisine throughout the day.
Free parking facilities are available at marker 9.7, with direct access through the Ciclopista bike path and water equipment rentals on site.
Natural stone formations at the beach entrance create protected swimming areas, while views extend toward the neighboring Ixtapa Island.

These Mexican beaches provide natural settings away from tourist spots. From protected coves in Quintana Roo to sandy shores in Baja California Sur, you will find clear waters and native marine life. Many locations are accessible only by boat or sit near small fishing villages.
