Puerto Escondido
in Oaxaca

We almost don't want to encourage anyone to go here, as it's already become so popular in the last few years that it hardly feels like a cherished secret anymore. Puerto Escondido is a beautiful beach town on the west coast of Oaxaca that's paradise for surfers, sun-seekers and serious chillers alike.
