Museo Arqueológico de la Costa Grande

Lovely air-conditioned museum on the beach. Highly recommend to explore more of the culture and history of the land. Very helpful staff.

Newer museum showcasing nearby archaeological find. I suggest taking a tour of this with Luis de la Maza. He picks you up at your hotel in an air conditioned van. No driving needed on back country roads! He is an excellent English speaking Zihuatanejo native and explains the history and interprets all of the Spanish information display panels- as they are only in Spanish. After the museum and ruins, on his tour you have a chance to visit a nearby villager’s home with a typical kitchen, tile floor and garden. He then takes you on a boat trip on a lovely mangrove lined lagoon to see pelicans, frigates and other native birds. Finally a lovely lunch under a shady palm frond covered patio. I had the garlic shrimp! Excellent food, no worries about food prep, super clean and fresh!!

Very informative and clean! It's all in Spanish so bring a translator or Google lens if you can. The bathrooms are a little small so user beware. I had to fight off a crocodile to use the men's rooms but it was an easy fight GG no RE.

Great museum a number of interesting artifacts I really enjoyed visiting at 10 pesos to enter

Beloved this place it definitely is worth a visit!

Very nice people at the museum, knowledgeable, spoke good English, free cold water available for visitors, but all exhibits are in Spanish and I don't speak it, so didn't get much out of it.

As of December 10, 2024 the museum is closed for renovations. Not really a ranking, more of an information item.

Small, interesting museum. A lot of explanation of the cultural history of the area. Nice artifacts. All signs are in Spanish, but they provide a card in English that provides the gist of each era. Definitely worth a visit.
