Playa Las Gatas, Mexico - Beach Guide, Info, Photos

Playa Las Gatas is a picturesque beach located in Zihu, Mexico. It can be accessed by a boat from Zihu town, a service that costs around 80 pesos, or by a short walk from La Ropa beach. Alternatively, a rocky hike from La Ropa beach to Playa Las Gatas takes about 15 minutes. The beach is known for its calm and clean water, making it a popular spot for swimming and snorkeling. However, the water is shallow and the seabed is rocky, which might not be ideal for all swimmers.

Despite its popularity, Playa Las Gatas is not overly crowded, especially towards the end of the beach, away from the restaurants. However, the beach has been criticized for the amount of plastic and garbage found in the water and on the sand. The restaurants lining up to the waterline have also been a point of contention among visitors. Overall, Playa Las Gatas offers a unique beach experience with its clear water, dining options, and easy accessibility.
