There is only one restaurant here, we picked a table and moved in for a few hours. We only ordered cerveza and papas fritas. A lady sells coconuts and fresh fruits, we like our coconuts chilled for a while, which she did for us. All reasonably priced. We met Miguel with a boat named Miranda. My wife approached him to ask about going to Playa San Augustin. Well, Miguel gave us a great offer! He picked the five of us up the next day at Playa Arrocito at 7am, proceeded straight out to sea for 45 minutes for some fishing. After I spent 30 minutes reeling in a 60lb sailfish we then headed back to towards 7 of the bays starting with Playa San Augustin. On the way we saw many sea turtles, even a mating pair. The favorite part for the whole family was spending 20 minutes boating around a Super Pod of dolphins! We stayed at Playa San Augustin for a couple of hours, hanging out at LaLa 's restaurant watching some local kids surf and swimming. Food was good but we thought a bit overpriced for the region. Saw six more bays and the blow hole on the way back to Santa Cruz where he dropped us off at 3pm. Whole trip cost was a fantastic 3000pesos plus tip. You can reach Juan Miguel at 0449581306541. We texted him through WhatsApp.

To me this is the best public beach in Hualtuco. Besides the snorkeling in clear, warm water there…read moreis great food and the beaches are not crowded. You can rent your snorkeling gear here but bring your own towels. It seems that most people come by excursion boat but there is also parking or you can just say to your taxi driver, "take me to the best beach". There are always taxis to take you back again. There is a new rule against having beach chairs on the beach but you can always sit oceanside at one of the restaurants and enjoy a cerveza and stuffed pineapple. (Seriously . . . . be sure to have one of these!)

It's a TINY beach, and when we got there (around 12pm) it was PACKED with people - in the restaurants, the beach front, even the rocks. I mean people, groups who didn't even know each other, were towel to towel. The water itself is a little less aggressive and much more beautiful than the other beaches in town. But, due to my anxiety it was hard for me to really enjoy this beach.

Breathtakingly beautiful beach spot…read more A tiny beach cove that is shallow with small waves. A perfect place to learn how to surf and/or paddle board. It's a long long long long long staircase down & you got to muster up the energy to hike it back up after a long day of heat exhausting fun in the sun. Especially if your carrying a cooler & stuff down there. The small area that you can buy food & drinks down there is pretty expensive even for Mexican standards. Because once you get down there, your down there for the day & they know it, so plan accordingly. Recommend.

After our wedding, my husband and I decided to rent a Catamaran to take all of our guests on a bay tour. We rented the Tequila Catamaran which took us all around Huatulco and dropped us off in a private virgin beach. Before heading to this private tour, the crew of the boat recommended all of our guests to rent snorkeling equipment from a small shop located inside the Bahia de Santa Cruz, which was really affordable. Something that I think is pretty funny about this port, is that they have a small gas station next to the water to fill up all of the small fishing boats that come in.

I've been visiting Huatulco ever since I was a baby, and up until 3 years ago I have never visited…read morethis beach. My family & I fell in love when we first visited. The water is clear blue and it's so calm, perfect to bring your kids & have an awesome time at the beach. Like most of the beaches there's restaurants that offer seafood & drinks (don't forget to order some coconut water to stay hydrated specially if you're drinking beers!). There's parking available, the problem I see is every time you visit this beach or any other beach with restaurants, is when you arrive all the employees from the restaurants jump in front of you to try to convince you to go to their business, it can get very annoying so what we always say is no thank you & close the windows or my husbands' idea is saying oh there's someone waiting for us already, even though this might not always help.

This was a fun surprise on our vacation. The park was much larger than we thought and had more to…read moresee than the website seemed to imply. I believe we spent a little over 2 hours total with our private tour. There are many structures including a main temple and a ball court. There is also a path through preserved forested area up the hillside looking over where the river meets the ocean. Definitely worth the hike up there, especially since gusts of wind greet you. I suggest going early in the morning to beat the heat and rush. We did a tour with Mario who was wonderful and very knowledgeable. The site is run by INAH. It was $6 (US) per person to get in and a tour guide was extra. Non-Spanish speakers: the museum only has wording in Spanish. The signs on the campus have both English and Spanish but I still suggest a guide for more information.

I've been to several of these parks in Mexico, and this is the first time the ruins have been roped off and only visible from a distance.

There was good information at each site, and stone had been laid on the trails, making them easily walkable. Also: we saw a troop of coati mundis! It was a serious highlight. They are so cute!
