Playa Mermejita
A long, wild beach on the west side of Cometa Point, rarely visited, and another good place in Mazunte to watch the sunset and take a walk.
Playa Mermejita lies behind Cometa Point and is about a 15-minute walk from Mazunte village, or a short descent by the headland trail. The beach is wide and long with almost no development, just a few scattered eco-guesthouses. In the evening the sun sets right over the sea, and it is quieter than the viewpoints on the headland. The waves are large and the rip currents are strong here, so swimming is not advisable. It is best only for walking and taking photos. Between July and December, sea turtles occasionally come ashore at night to nest, so please do not disturb them. The return path has no lights after dark, so bring a flashlight.
