About This Break

Tucked along the tropical coastline of Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo in Guerrero, Mexico, Playa Linda is a welcoming surf destination known for its long, mellow left-hand waves, warm Pacific waters, and laid-back coastal atmosphere. This scenic point break and rivermouth offers an inviting alternative to the region's more powerful surf spots, making it particularly appealing to longboarders, intermediate surfers, and beginners when conditions are manageable.

The main attraction is a peeling left that can deliver extended, forgiving rides along a combination of sandbars and rocky bottom. A shorter right-hand wave occasionally develops, offering additional variety. When southwest groundswells arrive and light offshore winds groom the lineup, Playa Linda comes alive with smooth, open-faced waves ideal for cruising, trimming, and linking turns.

Located just north of Ixtapa's resort district, Playa Linda offers convenient access to nearby restaurants, accommodations, and the wider surf communities of Troncones, La Saladita, and Zihuatanejo. Its combination of approachable waves, tropical scenery, and proximity to coastal real estate makes it an attractive destination for surfers looking to enjoy or invest in the Pacific Mexico lifestyle.
