The surf is usually heavy, so swimmers beware, but it is a perfect beach for jogging, running, and people watching. At the far end of the beach you will find Carlos n' Charlies, a delicious dig famous for its succulent seafood and festive dancing. Snorkeling gear, jet skis, parasailing, and water skis are available for rent on this beach. The nightlife usually begins in Ixtapa at sunset and is kicked off by numerous Happy Hours. After the drinks are flowing, dancing is soon to follow.
Most discos offer a ladies night at least once a week with admission and drinks completely free.
Ixtapa is the primo place to spend Grad Break. It's one constant party and all you need to do is show up. E. Hampden Ave.
