We are frequent visitors to Huatulco (10 consecutive years) and would not recommend the beach by the dock. There will many, many cabs and there are two beaches very close to the dock.

 

One is La Playa Entegra - this beach is calm, clean with many restaurants and snorkeling from the shore. The other is La Playa Maguey which also is in a calm bay with many restaurants. Our absolute favorite though is La Playa Entegra.

 

You can drop your towel on the beach and not worry about leaving some things while you swim. PLEASE use the same judgement you would at any location and don't leave anything of great value unattended. I'm sure some friendly beach goer will be happy to keep an eye on your things if you ask.

 

Both of these beaches would be less than a $5.00 (US) $50 Peso ride from the dock. They are both cleaner, less crowded and will be a better experience than the beach at the dock.

 

Enjoy your visit.

Thanks for this information. We are planning a beach day at Huatulco.

We used Wings over Kauai for their Grand Duluxe Air Tour a couple of weeks ago. It was $125.00 plus tax per person which we paid when we got there. There were 4 of us on the flight. They picked us up close to the pier to take us to the airport and returned us to the pickup place. They would have dropped us off someplace else or back to the pier if we had wanted. They did give us a free video with our picture, but the video was not of our flight. The pilot attached a movie camera to the wing and said they were beta testing taking video of the flight that would be available for purchase in the future. Our pilot was Josh and he gave a great tour commentary. There was a two-way intercom so we could communicate with him. We had an perfect day for the flight.
