Local fishermen, having returned from their early morning excursions, display their fresh catch on simple tables set up directly on the sand. The market buzzes with activity as locals and tourists alike browse the diverse array of fish and seafood. Colorful wooden fishing boats, known as pangas, line the shore behind the market, their bright hues contrasting with the blue waters of the bay. The scene epitomizes the charm of Zihuatanejo, a town that has maintained its traditional fishing village atmosphere despite growing tourism.
