The Oaxacan coastline offers an array of natural beauty beyond compare, with its panoramic scenic views and the extraordinarily peaceful waters of its bays.
Oaxacan beaches have fine, white sand.
Its topography favours privacy and tranquillity, enhanced by its beautiful aquamarine waters and breathtaking sunsets. Tradition, folklore, and regional cuisine can be enjoyed in small Oaxacan towns that have learned to maintain their ancient customs intact. Because of all this, Oaxaca's beaches have become extremely inviting to tourists. Huatulco, and its nine incomparable, unadulterated, and beautiful bays, has a tradition of history and legend, since it is believed that Quetzalc atl honoured the inhabitants of Santa Cruz, by passing down his legacy, a Holy Cross made of wood. The Huatulco Bays were settled around 900 AD by the Zapotecos.
