Beginnin wi a statue o Benito Juárez are foond bars, hotels, cafes, restaurants, nichtclubs, craft shops, Internet cafes, corner stores, tour operators an scuba divin rental. It serves as a promenade an aw as it parallels the main beach o the toun, an is pedestrian-anerly efter 17:00. At nicht it is croudit wi locals an tourists.

In some places the walkwey is vera near the ocean an gets wet frae the waves.
Each year, the ceety celebrates Carnival which begins wi the "quema de mal humor" or the burnin o bad muid. This is done wi a effigy wi the purpose o riddin the fowk o bad thochts an muids in order tae enjoy the festivities.
Beaches
The main attractions o Puerto Escondido are its beaches, which hae acome internaitionally kent. The aurie is attractive tae scuba divers acause o the variety o fish tae be foond an aw, as well as lairge oysters, lobsters an manta rays. Awtho the Paceefic Coast o Mexico generally runs north-sooth, this section o the coast in Oaxaca runs east-wast, Playa Zicatela is on the eastren end.
Puerto Escondido became famous due tae surfin competitions held at Zicatela Beach ivery year in November. The competeetion brings competitors frae various kintras. Elk-namit the "Mexican Pipeline" due tae the seemilar pouer an shape o the Banzai Pipeline on the North Shore o Oahu, the wave that breaks on Zicatela Beach draws a internaitional croud o surfers, bodybuirders an thair entourages. Mid tae late simmer is law saison for tourists, but a prime time for waves an internaitional tournaments. A nummer o internaitional competitions sic as the ESPN X Games, an the MexPipe Challenge hae taken place. This beach is separatit frae the ither beaches bi a rocky ootcroppin cried "El Morro" (the neb). The beach is fifty tae ane hunder metres wide an fower kilometres lang wi lairge waves that reach up tae saxteen metres heich. Lifegairds are stationed at this heich-risk beach as well as on the ither beaches. Aboot hauf o thir are profeesional an the ither hauf volunteers. Zicatela is still a surfers beach, wi the strang unnertow makkin the aurie unsuitable for swimmin. The Zicatela Beach tourist destrict caters tae surfers, includin specials on surfbuird rentals. The beach nou haes a promenade, landscapit wi flouers an shrubs alang the restaurants, mony recently established.
Wast o Zicatela ower the El Moro rocky ootcrop is Playa Marinero, which is the best beach for soummin as the surf an unnertow are hintle less. Thare is some surf, but gentle enough for beginnin surfers an bodybuirdin.
Wast frae Playa Marinero is Playa Principal, or main beach, frontin o the toun proper. A main difference that distinguishes this beach frae Marinero is that boats an watter taxis are anchored close tae shore. Here, fishermen arrive at dawn tae sell thair catch tae local restaurants an faimilies. It is 500 metres lang wi feene, gray saund an law tae moderate surf. This is the primar place tae hire boats which tak tourists tae itherwise-inaccessible beaches, tae see porpoises an marine turtles or for deep-sea fishin. This beach is popular wi Mexican faimilies tae picnic on an play soccer an aw. Wast o the Playa Principal is the lichthoose wi a stane walkwey, Andador Escénico, belaw it. Frae the end o the walkwey, an a bit farther wast, are the twin beaches o Puerto Angelito an Manzanillo, atween which is a smaw rock ootcroppin. Thir are on a sheltered cove, makkin it safe for soummin, wi Manzanillo haein slichtly mair surf. Angelito beach is full o faimily-awned smaw restaurants locatit in palapas (open-air thatched structurs). Baith thir beaches hae watter that varies in colour frae emerald green tae turquoise blue. Puerto Angelito tends tae be croudit an frequentit bi busloads o visitors. Playa Manzanillo is quieter as thare is nae road access.
Wast frae thir beaches is Playa Carrizalillo, which haes white saund an cobalt blue watter edgit in licht green. This 300 metre wide beach is on a smaw bay. Thare are nae vehicular roads tae this beach, an the fuitpath strynds a steep slope on a recently instawed rock stairwey. A watter taxi ride frae Playa Principal is anither option for accessin Carrizalillo. Waves are normally gentle, except for a zone that opens directly ontae the ocean whaur waves are big enough for surfin. The difficult access means that the beach is no as croudit wi walkin vendors as the Puerto Angelito Beach. Thare are few restaurants an the aurie is generally cleaner. On the east an wast sides o the bay are rocky ootcroppins that serve as habitat for a wide variety o fish an coral, makkin it popular for snorkelin. Near Carrizalillo is the Rinconada, a umwhile landin strip that is nou lined wi restaurants, salons, an shops. It contains a lendin librar run bi a local charity run bi expatriates an aw.
The wastmaist beach is Playa Bacocho wi upscale beach clubs. It haes fine, saft saund, palm trees, wairm, blue-green watter an a moderate surf awtho the far wast pairt o the beach can hae a strang unnertow. It faces soothwast, afferin guid sunset views. Wast frae Bacocho are still unnevelopit beaches.

Immediately they splorit towards the sooth in search o fresh watter, till they came tae the river.
Mimosa's settlers cried the fort "Caer Antur" (Welsh=Adventure Fort) or "Yr Hen Amddiffinfa" (Welsh=the auld bunker, or auld bunker). Ane o the settlers o the Mimosa, Abraham Matthews, describes the constructions like this: "The place that we denominatit Yr Hen Amddiffinfa wis a portion o laund surroondit bi a pit measurin saxty tae ane hunder yards in diametre. (….) These men haed excavatit the pit an thrown the soil in, so that whan raised tae the tide the pit is filled o watter, an thus mair insurances felt, acause accordin tae it wis said, the Indies o the Patagonie niver crossed the watter tae attack".
Despite the numerous studies made, the location o the fort in relation tae the modren ceety does no exist the day, syne the river haes chyngit course syne then, an nae remains o the fort can be foond the day.
The toun
