You have to take a little boat to the beach which costs like $3 for a trip there and back but it is worth it. This is a pretty calm beach with lots of little restaurants which are not that over priced and are really friendly. You can just buy a drink and just sit there for as long as... More

Walk to the end of the beach for a more tranquil spot at Otilio's - Franco will take good care of you there. More

We were staying on Playa La Ropa but could see Playa las Gatas. We rented a boat for the day and made a stop at Las Gatas. The water is clear and blue- much more enjoyable than La Ropa! Most of the beach is lined with restaurants and chairs so I wouldn't call it a private or relaxing beach. Snorkeling... More

Las gatas. Is not boat access only. There is a road part way from la ropa that gives way o a path along the beach. Also you can drive the road high above the beach to a path 5 minutes down. Sandi is my sister. And she isn't the average traveller. Kiss kiss More

Great local beach. We spent the day at Otilia's after fishing and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very local. Nice beach. Water activities include swimming, snorkeling, banana boat rides etc. would definitely go back. More

The walk along the rocks on the beach from Playa La Ropa to Playa Las Gatas is a bit challenging but a very nice little hike. We ate at Otilia's (2nd to last beach restaurant at the far end of Las Gatas) and the food was excellent. I had the baked 1/2 pineapple filled with seafood. They rent snorkle gear... More

This is a great day trip when you are in Zihua. Take the boat over, and when you get off walk all the way down the beach to the second to the last restaurant. Franco is the man to see. He has the pink tablecloths and umbrellas. He will take care of you! The limonada is the best in Zihua... More

From our hotel on Playa La Ropa we were wondering what all excitement was across the bay...boats were going back and forth all day everyday to what looked like an interesting area. In our hotel activities guide it said there was decent snorkeling at Las Gatas, so my husband and I arranged a snorkeling excursion. As soon as we arrived... More

Six of us aged 8-72 went to Los Gatos for the day to snorkel and had a ball. We only had to rent some of our equipment which we did easily at Carlo Scuba and then settled in next door at Oliviera's for lunch and to leave our bags at the table when we went snorkelling as is the custom.... More
