(Note that Playa Ventosa near Salina Cruz and Puerto Escondido were covered in earlier posts.)
My friend John and I went to Huatulco the weekend of February 27th while Tanya was in Las Vegas. On the way we stopped at Ventosa Beach which is near Salina Cruz. There are many hotels along the beach which look old but acceptably nice. It was very windy the day that we were there and no one was on the beach. There is an oil refinery nearby and the odor is strong. It is not my favourite beach.
We continued on to the Bays of Huatulco where we stayed at Crucecita which is a small town about 5 minutes from the sea and Santa Cruz. John and I had supper on the beach in Santa Cruz one evening. We didn't visit any of the bays this time like I did with Tanya and Erin.
On Sunday, we drove to Puerto Angel to see the beaches around there. We parked near the pier at Puerto Angel and walked along the Principal Beach towards the Panteon Beach. This was the day after the big earthquake in Chile but the sea was calm. It was early in the day and not many people on the beach. We walked along a pathway to the Panteon Beach where we had a soft drink and I had a cigar. There were some people snorkeling and it looked like a good place to snorkel near the rocks.
We returned to the car and drove over to Zipolite Beach about 3 km away. The beach is large, about 2 km long. It is famous for nude bathing and sun tanning. John and I went swimming but with our bathing suits on. There were a few nude people , a couple of women and a couple of men. After swimming, John stayed on the beach to sun bathe while I went into the shade and had a mineral water with lemon. After a little while (after John turned pink) we drove over to San Agustinillo where there is a turtle museum. However, the museum was closed. We walked along the beach and then returned to the car. We drove a short distance over to Mazunte Beach.
This beach is very bohemian. It is a little village with palapas and many young people (hippies). John and I walked along the beach and then around the point and over the rocks where the beach continued. We passed a few nude girls sun bathing on the beach on our way over to the restaurants. We had a sandwich and 2 beers each while watching the beach and the sea. I finished lunch with a cigar.
No more beaches. We returned by the highway and arrived back at Crucecita about 6 o'clock.
