Okay! it is without a doubt a BEAUTIFUL spot, if you are visiting to Puerto Escondido make the time to know one of it's popular surfing areas.

Now must knows:

• If you are in the heavy side/elder, the stairs are benign I don't have another word for it to describe it. Make sure you go to the beach feeling energetic/able to spend more energy up those stairs, Take a good break CARRY SERUMS (suero).

• To SIT at a table. You have to pay 250 pesos to sit at a table PER PERSON.

• To use the nice little recliner's you pay 500 pesos, for the pair.

Note: I asked if I could buy a beverage, they told me I have to rent a table. to order my beverage. La neta se pasaron, por eso las 3 estrellas.

• Take a towel as BAU or something to sit on the sand That's free. You can't take the foam igloo's since they can break and contaminate the area, you can take the plastic ones tho.

• Go to the bathroom before going there, a lot of people get seasickness or feel Ill, so a lot of people vomit and make the wc un-usable.Is this wheelchair accessible? nope. But remember this is Puerto Escondido! there are plenty of beaches to walk to! if you are looking for a more calming one there is a port not far, one that looks friendly it's near a tasty restaurant: "Restaurante Junto Al Mar" Also that place is nice for eating! I'll leave a review...

If paradise had an address, Playa Carrizalillo would be it.

To get there, you’ll descend a long staircase, but every step is worth it once you lay eyes on the view.

This beach is ideal for swimming, beginner surfing, or just floating in calm, warm waves. The water is crystal-clear and inviting, and the beach vibe is laid-back and local — no loud crowds, just sun, sea, and good energy. There are a few beachside palapas serving fresh seafood, cold drinks, and even mezcal, all without the touristy feel you might find elsewhere.

What makes Carrizalillo special isn’t just its beauty — it’s the feeling of peace you get the moment you step onto the sand. It’s the kind of place that slows time down and makes you forget the rest of the...
