Puerto Escondido is Mexico's surfing capital and one of the most exciting coastal towns on the Pacific coast of the state of Oaxaca. The famous Playa Zicatela produces the feared Mexican Pipeline – one of the strongest barrel waves in the world, which should only be ridden by experienced professionals and attracts international surfing competitions every year. However, Puerto Escondido has much more to offer than just extreme surfing.
For beginners and families, there are the gentle waves of the sheltered Playa Carrizalillo, a picturesque cove that you descend to via 167 steps, enticing visitors with turquoise water and golden sand. Playa Manzanillo is ideal for snorkeling, while the main beach La Principal forms the center of fishing life, where fresh catches are sold directly from the boat in the morning. In the evening, the beachfront promenade transforms into a lively place with cocktail bars, fresh seafood, and live music.
An unforgettable experience is offered by the bioluminescent lagoons of Manialtepec, where the water glows bright blue at night due to microorganisms. In the lagoon of Chacahua, accessible by boat through mangrove forests, pelicans and frigatebirds nest in large numbers. In recent years, Puerto Escondido has developed into a digital nomad hotspot, with co-working spaces, healthy restaurants, and an international community. The high season for surfers is between May and September, with the most pleasant travel time from October to May.
