I really liked Puerto Escondido, these are the beaches that I would recommend: Playa Coral: beach accessible via hotel 50 pesos (with drink) or 100 pesos (buffet + drink). Very pleasant, with few people but lots of waves. There's also access to the hotel swimming pools. Playa Bacocho: beach next to Playa Coral, accessible via the rocks. Not much shade, but a beautiful beach with fewer waves. Difficult to find the exit, as some beach clubs won't let you out. Playa Angelito / Manzanillo: angled beaches, but we went there on a public holiday, so it was impossible to get in because it was so crowded. I think it could be nice on weekday mornings. Quiet beach and clear water Playa Carrizalillo: We went here because the Angelito / Manzanillo beaches were too crowded. Small beach with more shade, perfect for swimming. Stairs with lots of steps to get there. Playa Punta Zicatela: best place to stay, powerful waves. Very cool for watching the sunset and playing volleyball.

It's super peaceful, very nice for solo or couple travel, and a great escape from the stress of the city. It's a very safe, calm, and beautiful place where you can surf, spend time by the sea, and watch sunsets. You can also easily travel to nearby villages by bus, and they are very affordable.
