Which towns are on Oaxaca's Pacific coast?

Most guides treat these towns as separate trips. They aren't. They sit an hour or two apart along one stretch of Highway 200, so we built a single guide for the whole corridor, town by town.

Puerto Escondido

Surf capital of the coast

Mazunte

Yoga, jungle, and sea turtles

San Agustinillo

A boutique cove between the towns

Zipolite

Mexico's free-spirit beach

Puerto Ángel

Fishing-village charm

Huatulco

Bays, reefs, and resorts

Each town is curated by someone who actually lives and works there.

What makes The Oaxacan Coast guide app different.

Curated by locals, not crowdsourced.

Every listing is chosen by a local curator: one trusted voice per town. No star ratings, no review spam, no pay-to-rank. Just the places worth your time.

Works offline.

Download a town before you go and the map, listings, and photos all work with no signal: on the beach, on the colectivo, anywhere the bars drop. One small coast map, then a lightweight pack per town.

A real map, properly pinned.

Every place sits on an interactive map, color-coded by category, so you can see what's near you and what's near everything else.

The essentials, six ways.

Food · Beaches · Activities · Nightlife · Services · Stay. From the best ceviche to the nearest ATM, surf breaks to quiet swimming coves.

Save your favorites.

Heart the places you love and find them again in a tap, grouped by town, available offline.

Local detail that changes your day.

Today's sunset and the next daylight low tide for every town. Small things that actually shape an afternoon.

How to get between towns on Oaxaca's coast: colectivos, taxis, and vans.

Getting between these towns is half the trip, and it trips up almost everyone. Colectivos you flag from the roadside, vans, taxis, mototaxis, the airport runs. The guide walks you through every town-to-town journey in plain language: the steps, the rough time, and what it should cost in pesos, plus how colectivos, taxis, and private transfers really work on this coast.
