Tangolunda Bay, Huatulco

Great beach in Huatulco Mexico.. courser sand as is typical of this area.. water can be rough.. There are a few resorts along the beach including Barcelo, Dreams, Secrets and another smaller one.. At one end you can swim with fish that ride the surf right into the beach.. at the other you can watch dozens of species of birds in the lagoon area.. Also due to its situation you can watch both sunrises and sunsets on this beach..

This is probably the best swimming Bay in the Huatulco area. It has great waves, but they vary enough depending on where you are along the beach that you can find relatively calm spots or spots with big waves. It also has a very soft slope once you get about 10 feet from the shore into the water, meaning you can walk a ways out before your feet can't touch the ground. The sand also gets much finer once you get to that point, so you won't find the ground moving as much in the big waves or have as much sand stirred up (and ending up in your pockets). The downside is that for people who aren't guests of the resorts, you have to enter by going to the trailer park then walking through a wooded swamp (that may or may not contain raw sewage) to access the beach. This is basically a scam by the resorts to close off access to what is legally public coastline. But either way it's worth it to get to the best beach in the area without having to pay $50-100 USD to get a pass at one of the resorts (not that that doesn't have it's perks, but if you don't want the drinks or food it's a waste).
