marysb Posted February 9, 2023 #28 Share Posted February 9, 2023 The walk to the quaint little town of Crucecita is a great way to spend the day. It’s not a hard walk, but it can get hot. the walking path Some photos of La Crucecita 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be correct, There is a nice beach within easy walking distance of the pier and it is lined with various restaurants/cafes...most of who rent (or loan) loungers. We also enjoyed some decent food and drinks on that beach (I no longer remember at which cafe). In an older post (on this thread) we suggested that folks try to negotiate a good deal on loungers with the best deal being Free. Why would anyone let you have loungers and umbrella for free? You can try to make the case that you will spend money on lunch and drinks :). Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stayed at Secrets and the property does get busier with day passes because they are so cheap one visiting group actually removed our belongings from our lounges while we were away for a few minutes!

Non AC, lot of flies and you can smell the staunch from a mile away. Next visit taxi into La Crucecita, it is a nice, quaint town, and the people are very welcoming.

cfkm1 Posted May 30, 2023 #35 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Here is a drone view of Huatulco cruise port and its surrounding Santa Cruz Bay. Pretty easy port just to hang around or walk 1.5 mile to its closest town La Crucecita 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepCalmBearOn Posted June 1, 2023 #36 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Huatulco has become one of my favorite destinations in Mexico, maybe #1 even. We've been there three times on a cruise and three times as a land based destination. The easiest thing is to stay in the port area, eat, drink and beach Our favorite spot is Restaurante Bar Doña Celia. Other than that, we've gotten day passes to Secrets Huatulco or Camino Real Huatulco. Then I get a ride to Playa La Bocana or Playa El Mojon and surf a couple of hours. The DW suns, pools and eats and I join her after surfing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how did you get there? thanks, Sochie If you were asking me, there are taxis waiting at the end of the dock. As always in Mexico, negotiate the price before getting in. It is about 6 miles/15 minutes. I don't try to drive a bargain, I just go with what sounds fair. As an FYI, if you quote the person you are asking a question of, they should get a notification that someone quoted them so hopefully they will respond faster.

MJC Posted November 3, 2023 #40 Share Posted November 3, 2023 We are experienced snorkelers, looking for a good opportunity in Huatulco to go off on our own with a guide/boat to visit some good spots, or a resort day pass to snorkel from the beach and have some lunch. Any recommendations would be appreciated. We will be there in April from a cruise ship and don't want to follow the masses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
