Place: Ixtapa / Playa Linda, Mexico.

Ixtapa / Playa Linda is located about 100 miles north of Acapulco. The airport is 15 miles south of Ixtapa and has multiple local and international flights daily in and out of Mexico. Near Ixtapa is the town Zihuatanejo. This town has been a sleepy fishing harbor for several hundred years and is rich in the local culture. A great town to visit. Surf is located up and down the coast. The favorite spots are three point breaks with Playa Linda one of these. There is great surf everywhere, great hotels, food and just great fun!!!!!
