Playa Salchi

Oaxaca's stunning, little-developed Pacific coast is home to a variety of laidback beach spots as well as an almost deserted shoreline interlaced with long golden beaches and wildlife-filled lagoons. Playa Salchi, located midway between the western edge of Parque Nacional Huatulco and Puerto ngel, contains some of Oaxaca's most valuable coastline.

Huatulco Salvaje, a group of trained tour guides from the area, offers the best trips. Many of them are from families who were evacuated during the establishment of Parque Nacional Huatulco in the 1990s, and they are well-versed in nature trips.
