I Surf, sand and sun. For a few days, it does not get much better.

Not much to do here but enjoy the weather, water, and the company of the few surfers that frequent this mecca of surfing.

There are not a lot of people here but they come from all over Europe and North America. The point break is great to watch some top-quality surfing. Also the laid-back lifestyle is something that many people seek out.

The private beach costs a $1.50 a day and you get is a restaurant palapa bar and shade along with the sandy beach and perfect-temperature water. 

A bit of partying in the distant homes sites adds to the flavour. 

We  decided to enjoy a bit more time  here and then it is pack up time and we are heading about an hour north to the resort town of Huatulco. 

Since it is a well-known tourist destination Huatulco will be a little more crowded. It offers the amenities of the city plus the tranquil bays, surfing,  snorkelling , and night life in the South Pacific of Mexico.  Also there is two beautiful looking golf courses adjacent to this medium size tourist town.

Of all the locations we have been in Mexico over the years, we think Huatulco is the best if we ever want to do an all-inclusive Mexican holiday.   There are many things to do plus the town has a much more interesting geography than anywhere else on The Mayan Riviera or North Pacific resorts in the country.
