My kids have invited us to go with them on a photo tour of Zihuatanejo. They took many photos while they were there.
The tropical plants, the beauty of the sea and warm sunny days all add to the delightful photos.
The best time to visit Zihuatanejo is between November and May. It is less crowded.
July to September is Zihuatanejo's rainy season. Temperatures are consistently warm year-round. For the best chance of sunny days and fewer crowds, the winter months or early spring are ideal.
Cost of living in Zihua is much lower than in the US with rentals ranging from $400-$600 per month for a one bedroom unit, although expect higher prices for everything during the tourist season.
