Troncones Beach is located somewhat to the north of Ixtapa - Zihuatanejo and is a  recently developed beachfront community with  a number of  small hotels and bed and breakfast resorts. With its 3 miles of sandy beach interrupted only through a few rocky points, Troncones has become very popular for people who like to stay away from town but still enjoying the convenience of being just a half hour drive away from the amenities of a major tourist resort. Troncones is popular with surfers, nature lovers and those who appreciate the tranquility of a smaller community.
