Puerto Escondido

Puerto Escondido stretches along the Pacific coast with multiple sandy beaches, from the powerful waves of Zicatela to the protected coves of Carrizalillo.

The area evolved from a small fishing port in the 1930s into a recognized international surfing destination during the 1960s tourism development.

Local fishermen maintain traditional practices at Bahia Principal, bringing fresh catches each morning while sharing seafaring knowledge with younger generations.

Visitors can reach different beaches through local taxi services or colectivos, with Zicatela beach located 3 kilometers from the town center.

The Mexican Pipeline at Zicatela Beach produces waves reaching heights of 4 meters, creating specific underwater conditions that attract professional surfers.
