Playa La Bocana
A long beach at the mouth of the Copalita River, with strong surf that makes it Huatulco's surfing spot. Seafood palapas line the sand.
La Bocana sits at the mouth of the Copalita River, where river and sea meet to form a wide, long beach and consistent surf breaks. It is the top choice for surfers in Huatulco, and nearby surf schools offer lessons. Waves and rip currents are strong, so it is not suitable for casual swimming. The seafood restaurants on the beach serve fried fish and cocktail shrimp, and the lookout of Copalita Eco-Archaeological Park is on the hillside above. It is about 20 minutes by car from La Crucecita.
