Most beautiful island in Mexico so far! This place is so pretty. One side of the beach is snorkeling with waters filled with reef. The other side(you can walk in 3 minutes) has restaurants and great water for swimming. Very clear and blue with no waves. It was very cove-like. My friends and I decided to go fishing for the day so we rented a boat from La Madera to Ixtapa Island figuring that we could fish on the way to this island in the open water and then swim when we got to the island. Perfect decision! We caught about 8 fish(a local fish in Zihua called Barrelete). We pulled up to the island and had to jump out into the water to get to shore. SOCOOL. Then, the forst restaurant cooked our fish right there and it was the best thing I had ever tasted. The island itself was very pretty and had chickens, goats, bunnies, and deer! Yes deer! How the heck are they out there you say?! I have no idea but it was way cool. I never wanted to leave this island. It was my top beach for Zihua/Ixtapa. This island is a must see! Awesome day trip!
