Puerto Escondido - Beaches

Playa Manzanillo and Puerto Angelito

Playa Manzanillo and Puerto Angelito are technically two separate beaches but they are so small and close together that if you visit one, you might as well visit the other! Situated in a small crescent-shaped bay not far from the town center, both Manzanillo and Angelito have very relaxed, laid back vibes due to the fact that the water is calm. For that very reason, snorkeling is a popular activity at both, as is swimming. You’re likely to find more Mexican families lunching here than foreign tourists.

Playa Bacocho

This beach is known for its top-quality beach clubs (Coco Beach Beach Club and Villa Sol Beach Club). If what you’re looking for in a beach is a comfortable sun lounger, great music, and someone on hand to bring you cocktails all day long, this might just be the spot for you; we recommend checking out the excellent Villa Sol Beach Club. However, you don’t have to go to a beach club to appreciate Bacocho, and you’ll find many joggers taking advantage of the 25k length of sand.  Swimming is best towards the beach clubs and a better for surfing on in the main section.
