Fishermen in Puerto Escondido.
Playa Carrizalillo.
Puerto Escondido.
zicatela, the main beach
Hey Everyone. I am looking for a place to rent in Puerto from jan 27 2010 til Mar 1 2010. Looking for something close to zicatela, for surfing. Hopefully 1/2 BR, so friends can hangout. Let me know if anyone has suggestions
there is a hotel at the beginning of the main drag in zicatela if you are entering from the north. it has a big red gate, and is attached to a surf shop. it is impeccably clean on the grounds, and inside the rooms. we paid $25 for two people per night. we had a fan and our own balcony with a hammock and partial ocean view. the shower was the cleanest we had seen. there are dogs and cats everywhere, and it is right in front of the water and close to restaurants and shops. it´s just the cheapest since it´s the furthest from anything else, which is only 5 minutes away. (walking)
oh, i also stayed at hotel papaya surf. it was comfortable, had a pool, not that you need it. hammocks all around. i think that's more of a surfer's place, very casual. the rooms are small.
Puerto Escondido is so laid back you almost fall over. Beaches, surfing if that's your bag, eating, margaritas or beer, hammocks, books - these about the only things you need to worry about. Swinging in a hammock in the shade deciding whether I wanted a beer.
A backpack is very handy, so that is the best bet. This is very simple:
shirt
short
sandals
get the picture? Mosquitoe repelent, and lot's of it, and a mozzie net is handy too.
Take some diahrea pills, too, you might need them, and if you forget them there are a few drugstores and pharmacies in town. Take what you want and can carry, from ultra wide for landscapes, to tele for wildlife and surfing And as for surfers and body boarders: don't forget your gear. For surfer: take short boards, and big guns, because the waves range from 2 foot till 20 foot, but you will be my hero if you ride the 20 footers, I know I wouldn't I would stop at the 15 ones, scary enough.
And bring a horty too, if there are clouds early in the morning and there is fog coming from the land, even here it can get chilly.
To the west of Puerto Escondido, on the way to Acapulco, and our favourite beach by far, found independently, is Playa Roca Blanca. Sign-posted through the roadside village of Cacalotepec (50kms from PE), this is glorious. White sands, palm-fringed, azure seas, cascading waves, stretching back towards the east, unbroken, for miles, rocky headland to the west, couple of palapas and DESERTED
Puerto Escondito has a lot going for it with beach and water. Since the Italian film, Puerto Escondito, came out there are far more tourists than ever. I still like it here it's laid back with nice people and plenty of inexpensive places to stay.
I saw this guy walking down the street and couldn't help taking this picture.
