La Entrega, Sandy beach in Oaxaca, Mexico
Description
La Entrega is a sandy beach in a protected bay surrounded by rock formations near Zipolite and Puerto Angel. The shallow, clear water and nearby coral reef areas make it suitable for swimming and snorkeling.
History
The beach has been a fishing center since colonial times, when maritime trade first brought activity to the bay. Traditional fishing practices remain central to the community today.
Culture
Seafood restaurants near the beach cook fresh catches using local recipes, and visitors can watch fishermen unload their boats during morning and evening hours.
Practical
Equipment for snorkeling is available to rent on the beach, making it easy to explore the nearby coral areas. Early morning visits offer the calmest water and clearest visibility for observing marine life.
Did you know?
The coral barrier in front of the shore creates a natural enclosed area where tropical fish can be seen in their native habitat without needing to venture into deeper water. This setup makes the location especially accessible for beginning snorkelers.
