taking a bus to Troncones

Here’s what we did yesterday. Walked along Calle Cocos and took the minibus driving along just in front of Dona Licha’s restaurant that had La Union written on the windscreen. Told the conductor we were headed to Playa Troncones. After going through the back side of Ixtapa and Pantla, we were dropped off at a caseta along the main road and we paid M$31 each. We waited about 15 minutes and a combi pulled up going down to the beach. We asked to go all the way down to Majahua which was M$25 each. Walked down to the ocean then took a hour or so wandering along the rocky point, along Bahia Manzanilla, another rocky point, and along the length of Playa Troncones to the village. Enjoyed a cold adult beverage at Mi Casa Su Casa before tucking into a nice lunch and a dip in their pool. The ocean isn’t safe for swimming as the massive surf is an awesome sight but a powerful deterrent. Four of us ended up taking a cab up to the caseta up top (M$50) and our minibus back to Zihua pulled up within short order. After many years of coming to Zihua we had never done this trip but I highly recommend it as the beach is beautiful and unfettered by purveyors of trinkets, jet skis, or parachute rides.
