Puerto Escondido Guide by Gi
Best places to visit in Puerto Escondido
Smart choice! As someone who has lived in Puerto Escondido since 2021, and visited a whole lot of Mexican beach towns, I can assure you that Puerto Escondido Oaxaca is a magical place, with a charm all it’s own.
Puerto Escondido is still somewhat off the main tourist radar, so it has maintained a small town charm. However, there’s still plenty of things to do, amazing restaurants and nice hotels for visitors.
Most people, it seems, come to Mexico’s Pacific coastline town of Puerto Escondido for one thing… and that is to get barrelled. Either by the pipeline surf break that loops in here (peaking April through October) or by the wave of street vendors, beach bars and food establishments covering the 3.5km length of Zicatela beachfront selling micheladas, margaritas, fresh coconuts and cervezas for as little as 50 pesos a pop.

The most beautiful and swimmable beach in Puerto. The water is crystal clear and relatively calm. You can float for hours if you wish.
Take a little cash. Best if you rent a few chairs with an umbrella and get drinks/snacks from the vendors.
