Punta Zicatela beach

Ultimate guide (October 2023)
Punta Zicatela is a cool surfer beach on the Pacific coast of Mexico - in the south of Puerto Escondido. However, there are spots for swimming, for walking, for beach cafes and for night discos. Moreover, sometimes you can see whales right from the coastline - during the winter season. There are a lot of palms almost everywhere, thus resembling Palolem beach in Goa. This iconic place is a must to visit, while it's still just a low key village. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]
This beach ranks #2 of the "Best beaches in Puerto Escondido"
