Up and coming best beach in Mexico!! Very geared towards the stereotypical "hippy" person. 420 friendly, vegan and vegetarian options everywhere, gluten-free options available. Able to walk to everything that is necessary. Beach is huge, lots of sand spaceto spread yourself out. Easy to travel by yourself and meet new friends.

Beautiful and peaceful beaches, surfers 🏄‍♂️ paradise 😎

It’s satisfying walking on a long sandy beach with the surf crashing next to you as you carefully place each foot step on the sand. Occasionally feeling the last remnants of a wave cool off your feet. Great beach.

Its a beach hard to give a bad review. It was beautiful waves were huge. It was clean and extremely hot. Keep it simple folks and enjoy it.

A beautiful beach for a sunset stroll. Not great for swimming but great for watching the waves and for surfing. Busy place but also chill at the same time. So many options for restaurants and bars as well.

Perfect for surfers but also to relax and enjoy sunset and night life. Close to other beautiful beaches and local towns. I loved watching the surfers 🏄‍♂️ feel the magic of the waves.

Great place to learn how to surf

Very easy walk in this park. You will be pressured to get guild, not necessary. buy Tickets ONLINE. If monkeys or sloth spotted there will enough looking up to know where they are. The guides will have telescope for you to see animals better and find the snakes and small creatures so not a bad idea to hire. They have closed restaurant in park so white faced monkeys not hanging out there. You can bring sandwich and water but NO plastic water bottles.

Amazing experience swimming in the Bioluminescence, one of a kind.

It’s cool for a few minutes but gets old pretty quick. The light is dimmer than anything you see in pictures - looks like a faint white. Still a cool experience.

Beautiful location. We rented a kayak and paddled around the area for 2 hours. We could have easily spent longer. This is definitely a place for bird watchers to visit. We went early (8am) and by 10am it was getting pretty hot. There was not much wildlife to be seen other than birds, but the trees were gorgeous.

Very impressive almost unreal what goes on the water at night. This time around seen the bioluminescence white 🤍 and was able to swim in the water for about 30 minutes under a floating 🎪 tent... Once in a lifetime experience....

The birdwatching tour in the lagoon was a highlight of our trip to Puerto Escondido. We used Manglar Tours. This is a special place

Fake listing. Don’t pay these inflated prices. The laguna/lake is found 20 minutes west of Puerto Escondido, you can see it on the map. Just drive there between sunset and 9:30pm and you’ll only pay 150 pesos to have a tour.

MAGICAL!!! Tips that I think would be helpful to know: We booked a lagoon tour via WhatsApp with Restaurant La Rosa de Monterrubia, a lovely chap named Antonio. We spent a little extra on a private tour so we could go later when it was fully dark (very important - light and full moons are no bueno). Antonio gave us a price much lower than the larger group tours we were trying to book from the bigger places. We got a taxi from PE which took about 20 min each way. Arrived 8:15pm, well after sunset. It was a little spooky pulling up to the restaurant when it was dark, after all the other tourists have left. But Antonio greeted us straight away and walked us down a wooden walkway to the dock. A 20 min boat ride along the lagoon takes you to the swimming area where the luminescence is indescribable. That would’ve been more than enough value for our money. But we then cruised another 15 min or so to where the river meets the lagoon, and that is where I won’t spoil the magical display that awaits you. You CANNOT swim in this area, which has crocodiles, but if you’re lucky you’ll see their red eyes in the light and get a thrill. The stars were incredible to gaze during the serene drive back on the calmest waters you’ve ever seen (sit up front). Highly recommend!

One of the most beautifully places I've been, must to go

You have to walk down around 100 stairs and then back up. Best beach to swim in Puerto Escondido. Food and drinks. You can rent a lounge chair for about $15 US.

Good place to chill, strong waves,but heard that other places you can't even get in the water. Be ready to spend some money for everything, even to throw your trash away. Overall, great place to visit for sure, even getting surf lessons.

Beautiful place to relax. Good wave action but tame enough for a lot of people to swim in. I think I counted about 160 steps or so from the parking area above, so it's a workout. A little pricey to sit under a palapa. A lot of surfers come here.

Spending the entire day here felt like a dream. The water was warm, the waves were gentle, and everyone around the beach was respectful. There were plenty of beach chairs to rent and open spots to lay out your blanket. Plus, lots of spots to grab food and drinks if you didn’t bring any. This place is an absolute must-visit in Puerto Escondido. Just watch out for the stairs — going down is “fine”, but the climb back up is definitely a workout!

One of the beaches where you can go into the water. Even can see some surfers on one side of the bay. Various places to get cold drinks, coconuts and food. Don’t place your stuff to close to the water as sometimes big waves surprises the guests at the beach. Sunbeds for shade around 500mxp. On the side is a tiny area with natural shade, need to come early to safe your spot in the shades.

Great local beach… be careful of the strong waves and be prepared for some steps.. otherwise great place to spend the day.. rent a chair and relax

Great beach with a giant staircase access , the waves here are strong so don’t go in if you can’t swim. It is also slightly difficult to get out because of the steep climb on the shore

Really beautiful beach, such a great scenery. Gets busy by sunset time, almost empty during midday. No shadow so bring umbrella. Difficult to enter the sea if you are not experienced because of big waves. At 5pm there is the turtle release by the organisation (didn't participate, felt really touristic and not that environmental friendly). Beautiful sunset.

For me this was the best beach in Puerto Escondido. Almost nobody there and beautiful! Waves can be rough but suitable for swimmimg also.

Nice beach. The waves are quite tall. Not that suitable for swimming. On the plus side there's almost no one. It's a bit further out though.

Playa Bacocho is a beautiful beach located in Puerto Escondido, Mexico. Visitors can enjoy the soft sand, clear waters, and breathtaking sunsets. Additionally, the experience of releasing baby turtles into the sea is emotional and unforgettable, making it a must-do activity for anyone visiting the area.

Wow, is all I can say. Such a nice beach. Release the baby turtles, then stay for the sunset! Only downside is that there are no food vendors there and the waves are a bit rough. Must do for all Puerto visitors imo. Bring umbrella as there is no shade. Price for turtle release has increased to 150mx

Great beach to see the baby turtle release, if you want to release them you need to pay 150 pesos. The sun down on this beach has the best views!!!! You need to be very careful to swim. Go at 18:00 +- to enjoy the above.

The beach itself is lovely and sandy but the highlight by far and away is going at 5pm and releasing baby turtles into the sea. You pay 100 pesos per turtle but this goes toward the conservation and is incredibly worth it. Once you release the turtles be on the look out for crabs and gulls as there is nothing more upsetting than seeing your turtle getting pulled into a crab hole or whisked away by a hungry gull!

Excellent beach for affordable food and relaxed swimming. The water was clean and fresh. We loved how this beach was not too busy and had lots of happy families.

Small pretty bay, but over crowded and with loads of boats mooring. The water wasn't clean because of the boats. No shade unless you want to pay for the sunbeds

Beautiful local beach. Not much room on the sand, due to boats. Crystal clear water and many vendors. Can get busy, but worth checking out. Can book boat tours here very easily.

Spent a few hours here. Although it is a small beach the water is beautiful! I can see how it can get crowded fast since it’s a hot spot for the locals. There’s not much room for sun bathing but if you dine at the restaurant you’re able to leave your stuff there to swim about in the water.

It’s a lovely bay but very very busy at the weekends. At one point there was 5 rows of people in the shallows making almost impossible to enter the water. You can see some fish in the rocks if you are early in the morning and there are many many bars and restaurants to grab food or drink, most are more expensive than the other local beaches. It is nice but go early and on a weekday.

Great for snorkeling, I have only been snorkeling twice before and I didn't need a life vest because the water is very buoyant there. There were a lot of locals there but everyone was friendly. No one minded that I put up my beach tent and flew my drone.

Puerto Angelito is an excellent beach for families with kids and older adults. No big waves, lots of floaties for rent and boat rides. Occasionally you will come across ice cream sellers. 20 pesos is what I paid for and it was well worth it. Very good!! Make sure you throw out your garbage. Puerto Manzanillo is connected to Puerto Angelito via walkway in between and is less crowded. Waves are a little bigger here. Crystal blue waters. There are rocks separating both beaches if you want to explore and collect rocks and shells.

The cellular and internet connections and wifi are not always working properly but you can make connection with the sea, the lagunes, the excellent waves to surf and the cheaper prices...In chacahua, the people are nice , the nature wonderful.

I'd say this place is one of the hidden gems that this part of Mexico has, people are so cool and welcoming, the whole are is a great place to relax and enjoy being there. Recommended 100%

Transportation from Puerto Escondido: any Collectivo Shared Van service direction Rio Grande- tell the driver you are going to Chacahua National Park and need to exit at El Zapotalito. The stop or "parada" is on the main highway at a dirt road intersection. Cross the highway and wait at the small wooden Collectivo stand. A Collectivo Taxi will cost $25 Mxn for 10 min drive to the lancha /boat docks. Here is the tricky part! Make sure you use the far LEFT docks for the "local" lanchas. Google Maps "Lancha Collectivo" in El Zapotalito. This is where the lanchas are reasonable in price. The local captains are kind and fair. Direct non stop from El Zapotalito to Chacahua $200mxn per person. Or in Collective lancha to the Collective Camionetta to Chacahua is $50Mxn per person. Find Felipe he owns his own small lancha and is very kind for a Direct ride without Camionetta. WhatsApp +529541479971. **CAUTION: DO NOT use the Lanchas at the far right side from where the Collectivo Taxi stops- they have a large colour sign with prices showing ..Tour of Mangroves $3,500 total trip and $2,500 direct nonstop to Chacahua total trip. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND A COMPLETE SCAM!! Walk to the far left and use the "local" lancha Captains. We had no idea and were 3 people to share the cost..$830 per person from these "sharks"! The beach and cabanas: Beautiful- Spectacular!! Stay on the Ocean side as the Lagoon side is less expensive but is run down and swimming is among the lancha boats going back and forth. The Centre square has tiendas and restaurants- Chacahua Wings is very good, the Guacamole served at the place to the right of Wings is amazing, the Barbacoa Burritos are so good across the square from Wings! The centre square is where the Collectivo Camionetta drops off and picks up passengers for El Zapotalito. Go visit Miguel at the restaurant beside Cabanas El Paraiso fir amazing, delicious Enchiladas Verde! We loved our private room with toilet and shower and mosquito nets at Cabanas El Paraiso...right on the ocean beach..with hammocks and bar.

We visited at night for the bioluminescence lagoon, and oh my gosh. It was pure magic. The ride to the lagoon itself was so much fun, zipping around the mangrove canals in the dark, avoiding fishing nets with all kinds of birds and bats flapping over head. And the bioluminescence? Bright, magical, and a one of a kind experience. Definitely a must see and well worth the hour drive from Puerto Escondido.

It's a bit if an adventure getting here but well worth it. To get here from Huatulco you need to take at least 2 buses, a taxi, boat and then a truck it's a fun trip but you're looking at about 5-6 hours of travel (at least). Once you are there you have a boatload of restaurants to choose from, plenty of cabanas to rent and access to beach camp grounds. The natives are incredibly sweet and welcoming. The views are breathtaking and the waves are a surfers delight.

The nature and the birds are beautiful. Go there if that's what you want to experience. There is one very cool bar run by Pedro who's happy to talk to you and serve you his specialty, frozen mescal recipe with milk. I haven't really liked that there seems to be 2 restaurant per outsider/tourists (beginning of March). It gave the place an empty feel.

Very beautiful place, worth the visit. It's quiet and peaceful. If you want a break from the city this place is perfect. No internet or service. So if you can adapt to this life it's amazing. The locals are one of friendliest people I met in Oaxaca!

50 peso entry, 80 pesos with a drink. Amazing beach with a 5 minute walk down to the beach, some shady spots to lay in the sand. You have access to the hotel pool as well. Absolutely worth it. Beach has a lot of shells and different colored rocks

This beach is pretty quiet during the week and has many spots in the shade. There are cute dogs running around, playing with the waves. The waves can be strong, don't swim with glasses. To reach the beach directly from the road, you can either pay a $50 fee to go through the hotel or go through a pretty adventurous path on the side. It's fine if you're fit and don't have vertigo

Beautiful beach with rough waves, entrance was through Villa Mexicana. $50/person to enter and $100/per person if you want a hamburger included. The ramp leading down to the beach is pretty steep, so anyone with mobility issues might have a problem going down/getting back up from the beach.

To access the beach for free you must walk from Bacocho beach which could be a little dangerous due to slippery rocks formation. Or you can pay 80 pesos to enter through Hotel Villas Mexicana which we did. They give you a voucher for a beer and water or a hamburger, not a bad deal and nice scenery. The Hotel is run down and in need of complete repair. The bathrooms facility by the beach is horrendous. The beach itself is nice but rocky and the water cloudy probably due to the recent Hurricane. Also it has strong undertow and big waves only for experience swimmers.

Super nice beach, fairly calm, palms to get some shade, bar with drinks is available. $50 are due for the entry via the Hotel on the hill. The rundown parts (old slides, buildings etc) give this beach a nice and special touch too.

You have to pay to get in here through the hotel (we paid $100 for two at 7am one morning), but it was worth it for sure. The old creepy abandoned water park is amazing and the beach was perfect for swimming. There’s some rocks and bits to walk around on the right too, which was nice.

Would not recommend. You must enter through the Villa Mexicana which is in disrepair and active construction. From there it's a steep descent to get to the beach that is rough. There is very little shade. The beach is not family friendly although it is pretty empty

It is really interesting how every morning 🌄 you can arrive to playa Marinero Pt Escondido and buy fresh fish. The locals know about this but tourist are not aware of it. It is really interested to come in in the morning and watch. But if you want to purchase bring cahs to pay 🐟 🐠 🎣

Not much access I saw to get to beach. The climb down I was a little worried with a baby but we did it. It was a nice time sit with family for a little bit. It is beautiful 😍. I would just be careful with kids . A lot of places to drop or fall.

Lovely place to watch the sunset. Calm during the day, pretty crowded at sunset time but you can walk a bit further (be careful, it is sandy and slippery) to enjoy it “on your own”.

A beautiful sunset place. Come a little early to enjiy the scenery and make pick the best spot. It is a bit of a steep sandy climb, so best to consider your shoes (might need to take off those sandals!). A close walk from the street otherwise.

I’d have to consider this to be the top scenic spot in Puerto Escondido. If you’re trying to find the best place for a dramatic pic, this is the spot. I’ve stopped by a couple times and it also tends to be very quiet without anyone else around. There are not stairs or a set path, but getting back and forth is quite easy - it’s not nearly as intimidating as it first appears.

Very picturesque little spot. Wasn't too crowded when we were there but you might want to come slightly earlier.

It is the perfect place to watch the sunset in Puerto. Do not miss this while you are here!!! Also, keep an eye out for humpback whales, you can often see them jumping through the water.

Top sunset spots in Puerto. Go early because it's starting to get crowded. Bring drinks, joints and sunglasses. Amazing amazing place to hike around and find the perfect sunset spot.
