Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa Message Board - Dolphins in the bay! 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 Dolphins in the bay! (reply) Lucky sighting- good for you. We have seen a few small pods in the bay over the years. A number of years ago we were out on a fishing trip when a few dolphins surfaced behind the boat. The crew quickly reeled in the lines but before they got them in a couple of the rods had “lost” the bait. Amazing how accurately the dolphins can take the bait off of a hook with out getting hooked.
Then suddenly there were dolphins everywhere!! Without exaggeration there had to be 30-40 of them popping up around the boat in all directions. They were swimming submerged along both sides of the boat. It was absolutely spectacular! I commented that even if we didn’t catch anything I got my money’s worth 10 times over. We eventually did land. 90 lb sailfish. What a glorious day it was!

Just 50 yards off of Playa la Ropa. Almost within reach of a kayaker and a paddleboarder. First time in 12 years I've actually seen them in the bay.

We saw a pod (?) of 6-8 dolphins swim right over to the rocks in front of Casa Que Canta a few years ago....maybe the same ones you saw.

Otherwise, we've been to Playa Larga a half-dozen times in Feb/March and have yet to see any dolphins, when in past years it was a guaranteed daily occurrence. Also we've not seen any whales from the beach during February and March, but we had quite a show in November/December.

Cool! That's the way to see dolphins. Free and in the wild, not captive in tanks or pools.
