Playa La Entrega
A coral reef shallows beside Santa Cruz Bay, where you can snorkel just a few meters from shore. It is named after 1831, when independence hero Vicente Guerrero was betrayed here.
Playa La Entrega is Huatulco's most popular snorkeling beach. Right in the shallow water along the shore, you'll find extensive coral reefs teeming with parrotfish, damselfish, and sea urchins. "Entrega" means "to hand over." In 1831, Mexican independence hero Vicente Guerrero was betrayed here and handed over to government troops. A memorial stands at the beach entrance. You can reach it by taxi from Santa Cruz in about 10 minutes, or by small boat. The beach has restaurants and equipment rentals. Mornings are quieter, with better visibility.
