Welcome to the tropical paradise of Troncones Beach (Playas Troncones) on the Pacific coast of Guerrero, Mexico. This small idyllic beach “town” has lodging, restaurants & activities so you may enjoy a simple & tranquil Mexican vacation. It is an easy drive, 30 minutes north of Ixtapa & Zihuatanejo.
Troncones is a very special and magical place. This small fishing village is the perfect place to get away from our busy world. This tropical paradise is only 20 miles away from the twin resorts of Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, yet a thousand miles away in simplicity.
Picture a 3-mile long secluded beach unspoiled by large hotels and paved roads. A place where the minute you arrive, you feel at home. A typical day here consists of beachcombing or maybe grabbing a bite to eat, take a swim, go horseback riding, watch the fishermen bring in their catch or enjoy a drink while watching one of Mexico’s most amazing sunsets.
Not a lot happens around Troncones (compared to other more popular destinations) but endangered turtles do consider this beach their home and they have found protection from the village. The population hovers in the area of 300 people, but you will be able to stay & eat in luxury while enjoying this simple Mexican lifestyle. This is the Mexico you dream about, the real Mexico.
By Bus
Troncones can be reached during the day by taking the local micro-buses or “Chicken ” buses out of Zihuatanejo in the direction of La Union or Lazaro Cardenas and letting the driver know you want to get off at Troncones. There will likely be others on the bus with the same destination. The bus will drop you at the turnoff to Troncones Beach. From there you can wait for one of two shuttles that run back and forth or simply start walking and you will more than likely be picked up and given a ride.
By Car
If you will arrive at the Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo International airport and rent a car, follow these directions. Follow highway 200 north towards Zihuatanejo (stay to the left at the first fork in the highway right out of the airport parking lot). After about 3-4 miles you will go through a bit of Zihuatanejo going up a big hill, at the top of the hill is an exit for Lazaro Cardenas to the right, take it!
Entrance to Troncones Beach
After about 24 Kms or 15 miles you will pass the village of Buena Vista (you have already passed Salitrera and Pantla), there are three speed bumps in the village, continue on after the speed bumps for about 6 kilometers (4 miles). After a church on your left, and some bee hives on your right, begin looking on your right for the Troncones sign. Be very careful when turning off of the highway (left), big semi trucks share the same road and drive really fast!
