Beaches

There are 36 beaches in Huatulco, three of which are within walking distance of Agua Azul la Villa.

Playa Tejoncito is a lovely half moon beach about 100 meters (300 feet) across tucked into a tiny cove. Tejoncito Beach is sheltered enough to swim safely. It is a rather long walk up and down hills and stairs to reach this Beach but is worth the effort.

Punta Arena is about a 10-15 min walk from the Villa, half of which is on pavement and half is over a forest path. On a calm day this beach suitable for swimming but it can be rough at times, with a rather sharp drop off at the shore line. As a long virgin beach with no facilities, it is perfect for a morning beach walk. A small outcropping of rocks divides Playa Arena with Playa Arena a similar long virgin beach.

Playa Conejos is on the same bay as the three listed above. It is located across from Tejoncito and beyond Punta Arena but can not be accessed from Punta Arena. From Agua Azul la Villa, a 35 peso taxi ride and a 10 minute walk will take you to a rustic shack with a palapa roof at the far end of Playa Conejos, where you can swim and have a fish lunch on the beach.

Playa Magueyito - A very short walk from Playa Conejos is another virgin beach. Although this beach faces open water it has a breakwater in front and is usually very safe for swimming.

Other beaches which are accessible by road include: Arricto, Chahu�, Santa Cruz, La Entrega, Mague and San Augistine and La Bocanna.

Several of the beaches are within a National Park and can only be reached by boat. This coastal area is magnificent and arranging a trip to visit some of the virgin beaches is one of the many pleasurable ways to spend a day in Huatulco.
