About Puerto Escondido
Pining for a place where you can throw on a swimsuit and flip-flops and pretty much never have to change into something more formal? Look no further than Puerto Escondido (or "Hidden Port"), where you will potentially look silly wearing anything dressier than a t-shirt and shorts. This ultimate beach town is famous for its waves, which attract surfers from around the world. Deep sea fishing is also a popular activity in these parts. Foodies will rejoice in the city’s top-notch cuisine, which spotlights seafood and local plants. Locals and tourists alike flood Pérez Gazga Avenue, the main strip, where you can find cafés, restaurants, and tons of options for after-dark fun. But truly, you needn’t look far for a party, as one is always happening in this paradise along the sea.
