Puerto Escondido, an exquisite hideaway situated on the Pacific coast of Oaxaca in southern Mexico, is renowned for its immense natural beauty, traditional Mexican charm, and remarkable surfing conditions. This idyllic locale offers a flawless blend of vivacious nightlife, tranquil palm-lined beaches, exotic marine life, and adventurous water sports. It's notably known for the legendary Zicatela Beach, a world-famous hotspot for skilled surfers; the enchanting Manialtepec Lagoon, famous for its captivating phosphorescent plankton; and the buzzing Mercado Zicatela, ideal for experiencing local cuisine and culture. The unique juxtaposition of relaxing serenity and enthusiastic fun makes Puerto Escondido truly unforgettable, the perfect Mexican beach town experience.

People beware of the police! The locals are mostly friendly and helpful, they don't agree with what the police are pulling off. The police robbed one of our roommates off his wallet and phone. He did not get hurt. Anyhow the police seem to try to sneak drugs into your bag so they can scam you off money to let you go. Please be careful. Also usage of drugs is illegal and police will give you a penalty for it and strip you off your money. Beware.
