The bay functioned as an intermittent coffee shipping port without permanent settlement until the 1930s due to the absence of drinking water.
The Fiestas de Noviembre features traditional ceremonies across two municipalities, including music performances, dance shows, and local food demonstrations.
The Puerto Escondido International Airport connects to Mexico City and Oaxaca City through daily flights, while buses link to major destinations.
The Laguna de Manialtepec, located 10 kilometers west, contains bioluminescent waters that illuminate when disturbed during night swimming sessions.
