Oaxaca isn’t only valleys and ruins — its Pacific coast is one of Mexico’s most beautiful. Three hubs anchor the region, each with its own personality.
Puerto Escondido
A surf legend (home of the Mexican Pipeline at Zicatela) with a buzzing yet relaxed scene and easy access to lagoons and wildlife.
Mazunte & Zipolite
Bohemian beach villages known for turtle conservation, sunsets and slow living.
Huatulco
Nine bays and 36 beaches, much of it protected national park — the calmest, most family-friendly of the three.
Get on the water
From Huatulco, explore the bays on our Bays Catamaran tour or visit Puerto Escondido’s beaches.
