This "great coast" encompasses the area northward from Acapulco, full on to the border of the state of Michoacan to the north. The coastline is for the most part, low-lying and flat, with a number of rivermouths, large lagoons and wetlands punctuating it's length. Zihuatanejo is situated on a magnificent, protected bay that once rivalled Acapulco for commerce from the far east and other points abroad, and that still rivals Acapulco for it's sheer natural beauty. |
