Live the adventure

From the cobblestone street to the big waves.

Instead of having beaches surrounded by large buildings, Puerto Escondido continues to retain the flavor, character and atmosphere of a fishing village. Very early in the morning, visitors can watch the “catch of the day” being unloaded on the beach by the local fishermen.

During the day, beach lovers can choose from Bacocho, Carrizalillo, Puerto Angelito, Manzanillo, Coral, Punta Colorada, Principal, Marinero and, of course, Zicatela. The hotel concierge, or the travel agencies in its entrance courtyard, can provide detailed information on these and more options.
