Puerto Escondido comes alive at sundown

Puerto’s nightlife is for anyone who loves late nights and dancing to excellent music. Near Puerto Escondido vacation homes, you'll find Bar Fly on Playa Zicatela, which opens late and is renowned for its live music, DJ nights, and international crowd.

Explore the main beaches in Puerto Escondido

Playa Zicatela, the reason surfers discovered Puerto Escondido long before the snowbirds, promises the area's strongest waves. A deepsea canyon sends swells hurtling toward Zicatela, resulting in perfectly formed eight-foot peaks and some of the world's most powerful beach breaks. If you're not ready for Zicatela's famed waves, head to Playa Marinero, a favourite swimming area, or centrally located Playa Principal, great for a gentle swim or bodyboarding.
