Take a day off on Isla Ixtapa! Located just off the coast of Ixtapa, Mexico (a mere 10 minute boat ride away from shore), your adventurous spirit will be rewarded with an extraordinary mélange of beautiful beaches, tropical forest, and a host of wildlife, from armadillos to iguanas to a cadre of local birds. Four beaches surrounding the island offer ample opportunity to soak in the sun (note that those on the western end enjoy the best setup for swimming and sunbathing). And if you somehow get tired of that, you can take a tour of the forested area of the island and snap photos of the riotously colored wildlife! And before you head back to the mainland at the end of the day, don't miss the opportunity to enjoy fresh and delicious seafood in one of the island's restaurants.
