About Playa Carrizalillo

Playa Carrizalillo, nestled in Puerto Escondido on Oaxaca's Pacific coast, stands out as one of Mexico's most enchanting hidden beaches. Accessible via a long stone stairway that winds down the cliff face—157 steps to be exact—this secluded cove rewards visitors with calm, clear waters protected by rocky headlands on both sides. Unlike Puerto Escondido's famous big-wave surf breaks like Zicatela, Carrizalillo offers gentle rollers perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and beginner surfers learning to ride their first waves. The intimate beach features golden sand, colorful umbrellas, and beachfront restaurants serving fresh seafood and cold beverages. Local surf instructors give lessons in the forgiving waves, making it a beloved spot for families and first-time surfers. As the sun sets, the beach transforms into a front-row seat for spectacular Pacific sunsets that paint the sky in brilliant oranges and pinks. The climb back up those stairs feels worth it for the charm, seclusion, and natural beauty that make Playa Carrizalillo one of Puerto Escondido's most treasured spots. This print celebrates that tropical magic and the unforgettable memories made in this hidden Oaxacan paradise.
