Despite being one of the longest beaches in Puerto Escondido, with more than 2,000 meters of golden sand, Playa Bacocho maintains a calm and relaxing atmosphere that distinguishes it on the coast of Oaxaca.
It is ideal for contemplative walks along the shore, sunbathing under the clear sky and enjoying sunsets that paint the horizon with warm tones.
