Beaches of Huatulco

You will be spoiled with an abundance of things to do and see along the Oaxaca coast

There are so many beaches to explore, each with it’s own personality and charm. From Huatulco to Puerto Escondido, be amazed at the fascinating eco-tourism, beautiful landscape, delicious and fresh seafood, and warm Mexican culture the Oaxaca coast has to offer.

We have defined beaches into 2 groups, those in the Bahias de Huatulco and those not (which isn’t to say those that are not in the Huatulco area are not simply stunning as well, because they are).

Beaches of Puerto Escondido

Further south and nestled between the end of the Sierra Madre del Sur mountains and Pacific Ocean is the coastal resort of Puerto Escondido. This laid back hippie town is considered one of the most important tourist attractions on the Oaxaca coast. It is loved by travelers, expats and surfers and is a popular investment and retirement location for Canadians and Americans. Puerto Escondido is home to the Mexican Pipeline, making it a world class surfing destination.
