On my way from Acapulco to Oaxaca, I spent 19 hours in a small town at the Pacific coast, in the state of Oaxaca in Mexico. I heard of the place and as soon as I was told it is a place of surfers, I had to come at least for a bit. Right now I am sitting in my room, the one at the very top of the hotel Acuario with a breath-taking view of the beach.
And yes, can see some great muscles of the half-naked surfers. At least it is a paradise for girls who like some rough men but who are really good-looking and with every move you can see very easily all the veins and trained muscles. I bet you will see many of them. To be specific, everywhere you look, as the place is a paradise for surfers, too. And no wonder they come over here, Puerto Escondido is the third well-known surfer beach in the world. There is everything a good surfer need. You can buy surfs, shorts, T-shirts, flip flops, learn to surf in one of the surfer schools, very quiet area to relax but most of all big waves you need to surf.
Last week they had up to 6 m. It means if you do not surf, better do not get into to water. Forget about swimming as many people had accidents here and even died because the sea is very strong here. I am talking about the biggest beach of Puerto Escondido โ Zicatela and where it ends at La Punta rocks.
Anyway, once said this, do not think there is no place to swim in Puerto Escondido, because there is and really lovely little bay called Carrizalillo Beach. This beach is more quiet when it comes to the waves, but you can get here only walking once you go down all the stone steps made down the hill just recently.
Because of its not very easy entrance, the beach remains clean and more virgin, how they say in Spanish as it is not easy to carry food or drinks here and build a restaurant fot the visitors. Carrizalillo is just a couple of minutes of the famous Bacocho which is the area where the rich Americans live. For my, and now also your biggest surprise, Puerto Escondido literal traduction Hidden Port does not exist , it is really hidden. I was told there is actually no such town with the name of Puerto Escondido in reality.
