Playa Chipehua
Beach
👍👍 One of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen. Completely empty, only fishermen on the beach. There are few restaurants as well.

Playa Coral
Beach
👍👍 The location of this place is correct on google maps... but how to get here is completely wrong. You have to walk off-road to get here. For that reason it is the best beach in central Puerto Escondido. As most people don’t know how to get here, which means... there isn’t much people when you get...

Playa Roca Blanca
Beach
👍👍 This is a wonderful beach! It is pretty relaxed compare to other touristic beaches, if you have the opportunity to go to Oaxaca, you should not miss the opportunity to go to this beach you won't regret it.

Agua Blanca
Beach
👍 This beach is absolutely gorgeous. It's a hidden gem with many fewer tourists than other nearby beaches. My travel book doesn't even mention it. There are several beach side restaurants to choose from, and you can get here by taking a convenient colectivo ride from Puerto Escondido. They run every 1...

Playa La Ventanilla
Beach
👍👍 The Ventanilla lagoon is beautiful.
Come prepared for a hot day in an open boat! We went midday and it was reeeaaally hot. However, the guide said that if you go too early in the morning the crocs might not be out yet... They do sell hats and refreshments at the entrance.
Buy your tickets when you...

Bahia Puerto Escondido
Beach
👍👍 Great place for pictures, a walk, or a swim - or all of the mentioned. Make sure to bring sunscreen since it can get hot. Yet, there are many restaurants who offer seating by the beach with a great view and a relaxing vibe. Different to Playa Zicatela, the majority of people is of Mexican origin, an...

Bahia De Cacaluta
Beach
👍👍 One of the best beaches I've been to! Secluded, away from the town, but not that much that it makes it difficult to go there. You need to take a taxi or arrive with your car and leave by the road, then it is around 20-40 min walk to the beach. Depending on where you leave the car it is either the "e...

Playa Cangrejo
Beach
👍👍 Playa Cangrejo is one of the world's best uncrowded beaches. It's long, with a beautiful view. It's clean. It's swimmable most of the time. It is a fishing beach, so it has great seafood. It has cabins so you can stay the night. Everything is reasonably priced. Best of all, everything is run by loc...

Playa La India
Beach
🫤 Beautiful bay, but be careful: all the gigantic big catamarans which up to 90 people stop on this beach! Imagine 3 boats with up to 90 people coming in to a small bay at the same time. It is so sad to see one more time humans destroying nature. There is a huge coral reed just by the beach and you se...

La Boquilla
Beach
👍👍 Beautiful beach in Puerto Angel coastline. We came here on a boat tour that you can buy at Panteon Beach in Puerto Angel. The beach is pretty quiet and you can do some snorkeling here.

Playa Carrizalillo
Beach
👍👍 Probably the best beach in Puerto Escondido. The waves were still strong, but not as strong as Zicatela beach - so you could still go in, without the fear of being swept away. If you want very mild waves - Puerto Angelito and and Manzanillo beach are probably the most mild ones as far as waves go. B...

Playa Arrocito
Beach
😠 Rude, racist and extremely obnoxious waiter
Charged us for the table even though we only stayed for a couple of drinks. Seems I was too blonde and my friend was too brown he assumed we were tourist and wouldn't be back.
We are both residents of course. Staying on the beach for a few days. 100 Pes...

Playa Panteón
Beach
😠 It was full of trash when we visited. Owners of restaurants said they clean in the morning but the beach is so small that they could clean it more often. On top of that they were just sitted while they could use the time cleaning it. It was all around the water and the sand. Never coming back to thi...

Playa Tierra Blanca
Beach
👍👍 Great spot for surfing, waves are guaranteed all day and in the morning there are only few surfers so you have the beach almost for yourself and your friends. It is sandy bottom beach with no rocks and crystal clear water, no polution around. Having said that this is my favourite surfing place. You...
