About Huatulco

Huatulco is a planned resort area on the southern Oaxaca coast, set beside a national park of protected bays. Ships dock at the Santa Cruz cruise pier, so there is no tender. Santa Cruz beach and its palapa restaurants are a short paved walk from the gangway, while the town of La Crucecita is roughly a mile inland, about 20 minutes on foot or a short taxi ride.

Most visitors choose one main outing: a boat tour of the bays with snorkeling at La Entrega, the Copalita archaeological site, or a Pluma Hidalgo coffee tour. Others stay close for beach time and a plaza walk.

Things To See in Huatulco

  • Santa Cruz Beach Golden-sand beach with palapa restaurants, a short walk from the ship.
