There isn't an abundance of shaded areas on this beach, and the prospect of indulging in mud baths didn't seem particularly enticing. However, if you're a fan of surfing, the sizable waves could provide an enjoyable experience. All things considered, this beach is a decent option.

This beach is an ideal spot for those who love to frolic in the waves. It boasts of two exceptional eateries and a mezcal bar that will leave you wanting more. However, take heed of the blazing hot sand and come prepared with an umbrella. Walking barefoot is not recommended. But, do take a stroll down the beach and you will come across a serene lagoon where you can spot a variety of birds simply lounging around.

Our go-to beach in Huatulco is simply splendid. It's an ideal spot to catch the morning sun and stroll along the shoreline. The cherry on top is the presence of our all-time favorite beachside eatery, Restaurant Bocana, and a surf shop. If you're up for it, Christian can teach you some surfing skills or you can opt to rent boogie boards for the day.

My friends and I had a fantastic time at this beach one afternoon. We indulged in a delicious lunch at Los Güeros and sipped refreshing drinks at Mezcaleria Quiéreme Mucho. The beach itself was stunning, though the water had a distinct fishy odor on the day of our visit and was quite choppy, so we opted to stay on the shore.

This beach is supposedly amazing, but let's be real - it's just like any other beach. Sure, there are surfers showing off their skills in the water, but is that really worth the hype? The food at the two restaurants might be decent, but if you're not a fan of seafood, you're out of luck. Don't forget to bring a boogie board and lots of sunscreen - because what's a day at the beach without some painful sunburns and a few bruises from wiping out? And let's not forget about crossing the Copalita river - it's a hassle, but apparently, it's worth it. Overall, if you're looking for a typical beach experience, this place might be for you. But if you're expecting something truly extraordinary, you'll be disappointed.
