The House of Waves is located on La Saladita Beach only 40 minutes north of the twin Pacific coast resorts of Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo in the state of Guerrero, Mexico and directly in front of one of what is reputed to be Mexico's longest and most consistent longboard surfing wave.

La Saladita and other nearby beaches also provide miles of excellent beachcombing territory and sandy stretches apt for swimming and boogie-boarding without the congestion of more tourist-oriented destinations.
