Playa Carrizalillo is a breathtaking, crescent-shaped cove in Puerto Escondido, famously tucked at the bottom of a steep flight of stone steps. Renowned for its turquoise waters and gentle waves, it serves as an ideal sanctuary for beginner surfers and those looking to swim in a more tranquil environment than the city’s larger surf beaches. The shoreline is fringed with palm trees and casual palapa restaurants, offering a quintessential, laid-back Mexican coastal atmosphere.
