Situated along the Pacific coast, Huatulco is a wonderful combination of beaches and bays. In fact, you could visit each beach for about a day if you stayed here for over a month. Although there are fantastic restaurants, wonderful hotels and resorts, much of Huatulco has remained unspoiled.
You will love the clear waters found at any one of the bays. They are filled with fish so whether you put on the snorkel gear or gaze down from above you will see a great selection. Of the nine, Tangolunda and the Bay of Santa Cruz are the most popular. If you are searching for luxury, make your way to Tangolunda. The marina at the Bay of Santa Cruz is ideal for those wanting to climb aboard a boat tour. Entrega and Maguey and San Agustin are well known for their snorkeling and great seafood restaurants. Conejos has a beautiful white sand beach, as does Chahue. Other bays, such as Organo and Cacaluta are tucked away or are undeveloped making access to them quite difficult.
The beaches of Huatulco are peaceful. There are no massive crowds here and so you can actually enjoy the sound of the surf as it comes towards the shore. The abundance of fish, such as yellow tail tuna, mahi mahi and black marlin, help make the seafood creations in Huatulco out of this world. Whether you choose to catch your own or have it prepared for you, you will truly enjoy eating your meals here.
Should you need to take a break from all that glorious water and sand, you can enjoy the city known as La Crucecita. Its plaza is lined with trees and flowers. You will also see the locals and tourists hang about as they enjoy the shade the plaza provides. The church located here is a popular place to visit. Make sure you step inside to see the impressive mural that it is known for. Golfers will also enjoy one of the most beautiful golf courses in all of Mexico.
Although getting to Huatulco can prove to be a bit of a challenge, the effort is well worth it. It is a getaway not many have discovered and that means you can enjoy it without the throngs of people.
