Puerto Ángel
A small fishing harbor bay where fishing boats, piers, and seafood restaurants make up a simple seaside scene. It is the base for boat trips, snorkeling, and dolphin watching.
Puerto Ángel is an old fishing port on the Oaxaca coast. The main bay has calm waters, and the nearby Playa Panteón is good for swimming and snorkeling. Fishermen at the pier offer boat trips to snorkel in nearby bays, and seasonally dolphins and sea turtles can be seen. The town has a strong local atmosphere, and seafood is affordable. It is about 4 km from Zipolite and can be reached by shared taxi.
