Punta Cometa
One of the southernmost rocky headlands in Mexico. A jungle trail leads about 20 minutes to the clifftop, where you can watch the sun sink into the Pacific.
Punta Cometa lies on the west side of Mazunte. Locals and visitors gather here in the evening to watch the sunset, and people often applaud as the sun goes down. The clifftop is wide open, and in winter and spring you may see whales spouting. The trailhead is at the western end of Mazunte Beach, and there is a small fee for the protected area. There are no railings along the cliff edge, so take care. The path is dark after nightfall, so bring a flashlight.
Opening hours
