Coyula beach

The water is peaceful and the food is decent, with multiple restaurants available but none standing out.

La Entrega beach
10 Nolan Greyson.

This beach is fantastic! The snorkeling is excellent, and it's one of only two beaches in Mexico that are entirely accessible. During the season, you can enjoy fresh oysters delivered straight to your table. There is also a variety of food and drink options available. Is this the best beach in Huatulco? It could very well be - it's definitely worth a visit!

Cacaluta beach
2 Lila8912Owen

This beach is simply not worth the effort to reach. The path leading to it snakes through a dense jungle, and it can be a nerve-wracking experience. While there are occasional signs to guide you, missing one could mean getting lost in the wilderness and feeling thoroughly unnerved. The trek on foot is a considerable one, taking up to an hour to complete. For these reasons, I highly suggest opting for a boat ride instead.

San Agustin beach
10 Landon Kozlowski

This was definitely our top pick for beaches during our travels from Puerto to Hautulco. We spent our time relaxing and dining at El Capi, which is located at the far end and offers a more peaceful atmosphere.
