Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa Message Board - New Las Gatas Pier https://www.zihuatanejo.net/tablero/ Information for visitors and locals about Zihuatanejo, Ixtapa, Troncones, Barra de Potosí and the surrounding region of the Costa Grande in Guerrero, Mexico en New Las Gatas Pier (reply) Big difference. Floating piers are designed to move up and down with the tides. But they don’t fare well with horizontal ocean surge. Las Gatas is pretty protected by the surrounding reef. For the main pier to survive the periodic tropical surges that enter the bay a large breakwater would need to be layed. . I don’t believe that would go over well with environmentalists. Without a breakwater a floating main pier would likely not survive more than a couple seasons.

When we went by on Friday morning, it wasn't ready, but now it appears to be. It looks wonderful with the floating dock.

Go try it out!
