My favorite part of our entire trip... Playa Mazunte has my heart. Such a beautiful beach with incredible views.
Quiet, peaceful, and calm. We spent hours just enjoying the sounds of crashing waves. The water is clear and cool, and the sand is warm to the touch. Along the bank are a vast variety of restaurants and bars.
Ample space along the shore for seating, though limited shade. At high tide, the waves reach far along the sand-- no chair is safe LOL. Water is only suitable for experienced swimmers. We saw a few people get overwhelmed by the strong currents.
NOTE: Two lifeguards are stationed on opposite sides of the beach, both incredibly alert of the waves and tourists. We felt very safe knowing they were ready to respond at a moment's notice. read more
