High red cliffs, housing, and hotels surround riptide-plagued Playa Bacocho, which is good for long romantic beach walks and sunsets. Snorkel or surf the clear shallow waters beneath the high cliffs surrounding Playa Carrizalillo. International competitions in August and November draw the pros to demonstrate their prowess on the Mexican Pipeline. Watch the experts surf the 6-15 foot swells and hollow tubes of Playa Zicatela. Fish for trophy sailfish or catch a dinner of yellowfin tuna, mahi mahi (dorado), grouper, roosterfish, mackerel, or snapper. Hire a skiff to take the family sightseeing or dolphin and sea turtle viewing. If Playa Manzanillo gets too crowded on a holiday weekend, catch one of the water taxis linking Puerto Escondido’s seven beaches. Rent a boogie board or equipment to snorkel the coral and rocks. The whole family will enjoy the mile-long shoreline walkway known as Andador Escénico, which leads across the rocks to El Faro lighthouse and the Sueño Posible scenic overlook.īeyond the lighthouse, Playa Principal transitions into Playa Manzanillo, a swimmable beach with clear waters extending towards Puerto Angelito. A small freshwater lagoon at the mouth of the river, Rio Rigadillo, marks the border with Playa Marinero, which has waves suitable for beginning surfers. Stop in one of the hotels near the beach for a drink or take the family horseback riding.

Rent an umbrella at the town beach, Playa Principal, which parallels the Avenida Perez Gasga hotel and restaurant row. Regularly scheduled airline service links Mexico City and Oaxaca to Puerto Escondido Airport (PXM).
