Puerto Escondito


There are a lot of Mexican people in California and one of my friends is from the beach town of Puerto Escondito.  It is one of the top surf destinations in the world and I love it.  The hotel, which was actually a cabana, cost only $24 and it was located right across the lane from the beach.  Each morning I walked the few steps to the beach to enjoy my $3.20 breakfast at a table placed on the sand with the tide rolling nearby.  This same scenario in Hawaii would be, well, not only astronomically more expensive but probably not even allowed.  The only drawback to Puerto is the horrendous 7 hour drive from Oaxaca through twisting, turning mountain roads.  The same trip by plane is 30 minutes!  If you want to visit, fly!
