Warning: Not Safe for Tourists We were a group of German and Mexican tourists hanging out at the beach. At around 6 p.m., two policemen on a quad approached us and accused us of committing an illegal act. We calmly asked several times for their identification and tried to find out what exactly we were being accused of, but they became more and more aggressive. They decided to put one of us in handcuffs and called for four armed policemen, who took him away to pay a 'fine,' without following any kind of protocol or providing a receipt. The local people around us at the beach, as well as a taxi driver, told us that this sadly happens several times a day, especially to tourists (for carrying weed, drinking beer, having too much cash...

Playa Zicatela: La Meca del Surf y la Energía Vibrante de Puerto Escondido

Esta playa es, sin lugar a dudas, la playa más famosa y emblemática de Puerto Escondido, conocida mundialmente como la "Meca del Surf" de México. Su vasta extensión de arena dorada y su potente oleaje la convierten en un imán para surfistas experimentados de todo el mundo y un espectáculo para los espectadores.

Lo que más me impresiona de Zicatela son sus olas gigantes, especialmente durante la temporada de swell, que pueden alcanzar alturas impresionantes, creando un desafío épico para los riders y un espectáculo fascinante para quienes las observan desde la orilla. La energía que se respira en esta playa es única: siempre hay actividad, desde clases de surf para principiantes en las zonas de menor oleaje hasta eventos y competiciones de surf de talla internacional. Además de la acción en el agua, Zicatela es el corazón de la vida nocturna y social de Puerto Escondido. A lo largo de su famosa "zona de la Punta" y el área central, encontrarás una gran variedad de restaurantes, bares, cafeterías y tiendas de surf, creando un ambiente bohemio, relajado y cosmopolita que invita a pasar el día y la noche.

Sin embargo, es importante destacar que, debido a su fuerte y constante oleaje, Zicatela no es una playa recomendada para nadar o para familias con niños pequeños que buscan aguas tranquilas. Las corrientes pueden ser muy peligrosas, por lo que es fundamental respetar las indicaciones de seguridad. Su encanto reside más en la observación del surf, el disfrute del ambiente y los servicios que ofrece la zona.

Recomiendo Playa Zicatela a los amantes del surf, a quienes disfrutan de un ambiente vibrante y con mucha vida, y a cualquiera que busque sentir la energía auténtica de Puerto Escondido. Es el lugar perfecto para observar a los profesionales domar las olas, disfrutar de un atardecer espectacular desde un restaurante frente al mar, o simplemente sumergirse en el pulso...

Real cool beach. Very clean (I was told the local establishments have to sweep through it every few days to make sure it stays pristine). Waves can be brutal so Ten cuidado! Was being careful but broke a fin, dented and then snapped the tip off a surfboard...never had a problem in other places but these waves break fast and hard and quite close to shore....if you are a beginner, work with a local teacher or guide especially to find where and when to go....it is no Waikiki but it is definitely worth figuring out. Buena...

5 things to do in ✨Puerto Escondido, MX✨ 🏝beach hop between the different beaches in the area (Playa Zicatela, Playa Carrizalillo, Playa Coral, & Playa Bacocho) 🏄‍♀️learn to surf! Not only is PE a destination for pro surfers (Playa Zicatela has the big girl waves), but it’s also a great place for beginners (Playa Carrizalillo) 🐢release baby sea turtles!!! (this one made our hearts whole). Two different sanctuaries release sea turtles at sunset past Punta Zicatela and on Playa Bacocho. ~$500 pesos 🐬spot dolphins on a sunrise boat tour (or if you’re lucky you might even get to swim with them! ~$400 pesos 🐕meet the locals, and we mean the furry ones!!! Be sure to also check out our favorite hangout spot @sunrisebeachclubzicatela and if you’re looking for a good coworking space check out @losodeli . Our favorite tacos were at El Taco Brown– do yourself a favor and get the al pastor tacos 🤤 . . . #wearetravelgirls #femaletravel #travelgirl #solotraveltips #thetravelwomen #visitoaxaca #visitmexico #vive_mexico #oaxacamexico #oaxacatravel #igersoaxaca #puertoescondido #zicatelabeach #puertoescondidooaxaca #zicatela #lapunta
