Puerto Angelito/ Playa Manzanillo
There are not one but two amazing beaches in the same crescent-shaped bay here.
One is Puerto Angelito Oaxaca and the other is Playa Manzanillo. Each end of the bay offers something different depending on what you’re in the mood for.
Playa Angelito is perfect for grabbing a bite to eat and drink at one of the beachfront spots that remind you of Oaxaca's great restaurants. You can also explore the rocky headland on the northern end, swim in the calm waters, or join a boat tour along the coastline of Puerto Escondido.
Playa Manzanillo is ideal for snorkeling or spending a day reading in the shade of palm trees. Both beaches are fantastic, but do keep in mind that they can get quite busy on weekends with weekend warriors from Oaxaca. The water is calm and perfect for a swim.
