Playa Estacahuite

Playa Estacahuite, located on the Oaxacan coast of Mexico, is a small yet popular beach known for its natural beauty and charm. Situated just outside the town of Puerto Ángel, the beach is easily accessible both by road and sea. Its proximity to the town also allows visitors to reach the beach by a short fifteen-minute walk. Playa Estacahuite is characterized by its clear blue waters, golden sands, and average-sized waves. A significant natural characteristic of the beach is its coral reef, attracting snorkelers, SCUBA divers, and fishermen alike. The beach also houses underwater rocks and is home to a rich variety of fish, further enhancing its appeal as a snorkeling spot. The beach is not just a favorite among adventure enthusiasts but is also family-friendly. A protected swimming area nestled within a beautiful natural cove, along with gentle waters and ample shoreline exploration opportunities, make Playa Estacahuite an ideal beach for families. Visitors can also enjoy the convenience of on-site amenities. Snorkeling equipment is available for rent on the beach, and there are several restaurants offering reasonably priced food. Despite being a popular destination, the beach maintains a relatively tranquil atmosphere. However, it can get crowded, particularly around midday when tour boats arrive. Therefore, visitors are advised to arrive early to secure a spot and avoid the rush.
