Here are five beaches you should not miss:

1. Santa Cruz Beach

Santa Cruz Beach is one of the most famous beaches in Huatulco, known for its calm waters. Here, you can enjoy the soft sand and, from mid-July to January, witness the sight of turtles and other diverse wildlife. The beach is also located in a vibrant area with plenty of entertainment options, so your days can extend into lively nights.

2. La Entrega Beach

La Entrega is another must-visit beach, famed for its crystal-clear waters that are ideal for snorkeling and diving among coral reefs. You can rent equipment from local agencies, with some offering training and guided tours for around 1,200 pesos MXN. Like Santa Cruz, La Entrega features calm waves, making it a favorite spot for those who prefer relaxed water activities. Historically, this beach is significant as it was the site where former president Vicente Guerrero was executed in 1831. The waters here are a stunning emerald green, with varying wave conditions that generally make it a peaceful place to unwind.

3. Chahué Beach

If relaxation is your priority, Chahué Beach is the perfect choice. This beach is less crowded and offers calm waters, inviting you to dive in and enjoy the sun on its soft, white sand. Chahué also offers opportunities to witness turtles laying their eggs during the summer months, drawing attention from visitors and authorities alike, who are committed to protecting these incredible creatures.

4. Organo Beach

It features a crystalline sea and is named after a rock formation resembling a church organ. This beach is perfect for those looking to escape the crowds and enjoy tranquil surroundings. Activities like snorkeling are popular here, and the golden sand adds to the charm. One of the highlights of Órgano Beach is the stunning transformation of the water’s color as the sun sets, turning more intense shades of green.

5. San Agustín Beach

San Agustín Beach is known for its beautiful white coral reefs, making it a prime location for snorkeling and diving in its clear waters. This spacious beach offers a sense of privacy, especially for couples looking to escape the hustle and bustle, as it is not easily accessible by car. Relax to the soothing sound of the waves and take in the beautiful sunsets reflected on the water, while observing the diverse fauna along the shore.
