Introducing Barra de Potosí
Forty minutes drive south of Zihutanejo is the small fishing village of Barra de Potosí at the end of an endless, palm-fringed sandy-white beach. The calm green-blue water is great for swimming but too cloudy for snorkeling. Several seafood enramadas line the beach; La Condesa is one of the best. Try their pescado a la talla (broiled fish fillets) or tiritas, both local specialties, and don’t pass up the savory handmade tortillas.

The south side of the beach empties into Laguna de Potosí, a saltwater lagoon about 6.5km long brimming with hundreds of species of birds. Zoe Kayak Tours (553-04-96; www.zoekayatours.com; M$850) offers guided paddle tours of the lagoon catering to bird-watchers and kayakers. Horseback riding and canoeing are also popular diversions.
