Beaches on Oaxaca's Pacific coast can be isolated beaches like the several in
between the resort towns of Puerto Escondido in the north and the nine bays of Huatulco
to the south
On Oaxaca's Zipolite Beach the accommodations can be rustic
Zipolite lies between Mazunte and Puerto Angel, out of the way resort areas reached by bus from Puerto
Escondido or taxi, colectivo, or camioneta from Pochutla

Beaches in Oaxaca Mexico range from the very rustic and nearly deserted Zipolite to the
well-developed and nearly deserted beaches of Hualtulco. The exception might be at Christmas time
when many Mexican families leave the cities and head to the beach. The other exception would be the
beaches at Puerto Escondido where surfers have made a legend of Zicatela Beach and the Mexican
pipeline and it is there that the November surfing championships are held. Otherwise Oaxaca's
marvelous beaches, Zipolite, Mazunte, Puerto Angel, and the 32 beaches of Huatulco are rarely
crowded.
Oaxaca's Pacific Coast Beaches
Oaxaca's Pacific Coast Beaches lack an infrastructure that can handle large numbers of
people and if they could there is still no easy way to get to most of the beaches on Oaxaca's Pacific
coast. Oaxaca State's best known beaches Huatulco and Puerto Escondido have limited air service and
the mountains make a bus or auto trip from Oaxaca City an 8-hour ordeal for all but the dedicated
traveler.
Oaxaca's Pacific Coast Beaches might be in for a change, however, a new highway from
Oaxaca City to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec will change things in 2012 making Huatulco a ten-hour drive
from Mexico City and a four-hour trip from Oaxaca City. For now Oaxaca's Pacific Coast beaches are a
quiet paradise were you can dine on fresh grilled Dorado beneath a straw palapa and then stretch a
hammock between some palms for a mid-day snooze.
