Top Beaches in Oaxaca

I suggest grabbing breakfast at a local cafe before you hit the beach, you'll save a ton compared to beachside prices! Plus, the local spots have amazing fresh fruit and smoothies

I suggest bringing some cash, because not all beach shacks accept cards. I learned the hard way when I was craving some fresh ceviche but had no pesos on me.

If you can, visit in the morning around 7 AM. The beach is super peaceful then, perfect for swimming before the crowds show up, plus you can catch a stunning sunrise!

My advice is to get an oceanview hostel if you can; it's worth spending a bit more. The sunsets from your balcony will be memories for a lifetime!

I recommend bringing water shoes. The rocky areas can be tricky, and they make it way easier to walk around and explore the tide pools without hurting your feet.
