The next and final beach we sought out was Mazunte. It was a close neighbor of Zipolite and took about 10 minutes by truck to reach. We fell victim to staying at a thatched roof hotel/restaurant/bar on the beach due to the heat and discovered that we were back to bucket showers and toilets post payment. But Mazunte’s beach more than made ammends and was indeed gorgeous, carved out of the rocky headlands resembling giant stretched out horseshoes leaving sand behind for feet and bodies to enjoy. The bedrock tongues stuck out past high tide levels, isolating little sections and giving them a “next town over” feel. Mazunte is also home to a turtle reserve compound raising and releasing turtles back into the ocean. We spent hours watching the first part of their lives unfold in their temporary homes. Mazunte’s waves were bone-crushing and broke right onto the sand itself. Body surfing here should be performed with caution and the expecation that you will be tossed around like clothes in an industrial-strength washing machine. This was a prime location for skim boarders because beach shelf was kind of a like a steep ramp that rolled right to the water.

Mazunte’s unreal turquoise waters were best observed along the little hike to Punta Cometa just west of it’s beach. This 30 minute adventure brought you up and down some of the most spectacular cliffs overlooking coves, hidden beaches, and coastal ridgelines bearing giant cacti. I did not bring my camera for our sunset walk and immediately regretted this decision. Elissa and I sat on a rocky ridge that separated the headland from the arm of an ancient bedrock spit and took in another gorgeous Mexican sunset. The night life in Mazunte was relaxed and fun and we spent the evening listening to live reggae and acoustic versions of classic rock tunes. The following morning I took a quick hike back to Punta Cometa but the natural lighting and magic was just not the same. Departure from these dreamy sand havens was tough but we had another intense bus trip through the mountains to endure to get back to Oaxaca. The universe loves balance.

The beach is the main draw in San Agustinillo (28C/82F water temp in Dec). There is no night life at all. This is a safe beach about 2km long. The sand is darker and a wee bit coarser than the coral coloured powder of the east coast, but certainly a delight. The ocean changes every hour with the tides and the offshore conditions. The waves, at least around New Years, were thunderous and large but the shallow configuration between the headlands eliminates the riptides and undertows that intimidate along much of the west coast. Some days were good for board surfing, some for boogie boarding (both available to rent) or for body surfing

bits

We found the best snorkeling at Playas Entrega and then Maguey (right from shore) and also on a tour with Hurricane Divers (I think it was Playas Violin and Chacacual)

However there are no coral reefs in Huatulco, but there are giant chunks of coral plate. We love to snorkel at La Entrega as well, San Augustin is great, as is Riscalillo. We have always had our best snorkeling trips with Hurricane Divers, can't say enough good things about them.

For snorkeling we prefer Bahia San Agustin. It is one of the further bays, but is easily accessible by boat or taxi and you will NOT need a tour; we prefer it there because it is generally less crowded, the beach restaurants serve-up just-caught fish and the snorkeling is wonderful. Try Charlie's place for GREAT food.

We agree that Bahia San Agustin is the best. Bahia India, but it is only accessible by water. I love snorkelling around Isla Cacaluta. Also accessible by water but some of the snorkel guides will take you there from Playa Maguey if I am not mistaken.
