Bahía Papanoa, Pacific Ocean bight in Guerrero, Mexico.
Bahía Papanoa is a bight along the Pacific coast of Guerrero with wide sandy beaches and mountains rising in the background. The bay stretches across several kilometers of shoreline.
The bay has been home to local fishing communities since colonial times and forms the foundation of the regional fishing economy. This maritime tradition remains alive in the local population today.
Fishermen in the area practice traditional craft techniques when preparing their catches. Visitors can taste local fish dishes prepared according to handed-down recipes.
Visitors can reach multiple beaches in the bay through the federal highway, with lodging ranging from hotels to local guesthouses. The best time to visit is during the drier months when beach access is easiest.
At Playa Ojo de Agua, a natural freshwater spring flows from rocks on the beach. The water blends with the salty sea and creates an unusual place for swimming.
