Playa Blanca, Coastal settlement in Zihuatanejo de Azueta Municipality, Mexico
The white sand beach extends along the Pacific coast, with clear waters reflecting the sunlight and mountains rising in the background.
The settlement originated as a small fishing community before evolving into a residential area that attracts both local residents and international visitors.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing methods, supplying fresh catches to neighborhood restaurants that prepare regional Mexican Pacific dishes.
Visitors reach the beach via taxi or rental car from Zihuatanejo, with limited direct amenities maintaining the natural character of the location.
Marine wildlife frequently appears near the shore, including seasonal whale migrations and sea turtles that nest along specific sections of the beach.
