Beaches of Huatulco!
Bahai Chahue – This is a gorgeous beach with wide expanses of sand to one side, and a small bay where locals fish on the other side. It’s possible to swim here but the rip-tide currents can be strong so be careful and observe the flags. There’s a lifeguard tower and facilities including bathrooms, showers, and restaurants. The downside is there are no sun loungers so we brought our own towels and sat in the shade.
Playa Santa Cruz: this is a pleasant beach to visit with some of the gentlest waves in the region. For an easy beach day, you can’t do much better because there are lots of cafes and restaurants in the town to get refreshments. Although there aren’t loungers on the sand, you can sit at shaded chairs and tables in exchange for buying something at one of the beach restaurants.
Playa Entrega: meaning ‘the delivery’, the story behind this popular beach goes that Vicente Guerrero (hero of Mexican independence) was handed over here to his enemies here. With facilities and watersports, this beach can easily be accessed by road and is often crowded.
Tangolunda Bay: this beach (in the bay of the name same) stretches for miles. Much of it is owned by hotels and resorts but there is some public access. The waves range from gentle to rough depending where on the beach you settle. Tangolunda is a 10-minute drive from La Crucecita.

Have a luxurious beach day on the main beach (there are comfy loungers belonging to the many beach bars ), or wander up further to Playa Amor. When you are done on the beach, enjoy the vibe of the cafes and bars in the nearby town of Mazunte.
is the ultimate beach to spend a day swimming in the calm waters and relaxing on the beach. Although they’re nothing fancy, you’ll find all the amenities you need for the day. Later, you can walk around the bay and visit the main town as well as the other beach, Playa Principal.
Playa San Andres has gentle waves and lovely views across the bay to Santa Cruz. It is more of a locals beach. Access is limited to walking through the forest and hiking (down steps to San Andres and down the cliff to Fandango Cove) which clearly puts off enough people to keep them tranquil. There are no facilities at either beach so bring everything you need with you, especially water since the climb back up is a little steep in parts.
To get to Fandango Cove, you need to climb back up the steps and traverse down the rocky cliff side. Be careful! If you have proper shoes rather than
