| ~ South Tancolunda Bay - Huatulco, Mexico! ~ |
Huatulco is a resort
destination with an intimate, quiet ambiance and unspoiled tropical beauty. It is the kind of place where days are best
spent basking in the sun, and nights are spent gazing at the shimmering stars!
Set at the foot of the Sierra Madre del Sur Mountains on a series of nine bays, Huatulco enjoys a unique
setting and ecology. Tangolunda Bay the most impressive bay offers the largest array of
accommodations from moderate hotels to all-inclusive resorts. {See Photo Above] Huatulco
also offers golf, water sports, shopping and dining. The crystal-clear turquoise waters
are a swimmer and fisherman’s paradise!

| ~ Huatulco, Mexico: Bays ~ |
Las Bahias de Huatulco
is its full name - "The Bays of Huatulco" - there are nine in total - and between
them they are host to 36 stunningly attractive beaches - featuring soft sands and crystal clear blue waters off the Pacific
coast in Mexico's State of Oaxaca.
Situated about 430 kilometers
(270 miles) south of Acapulco on Mexico's Pacific Coastline, Huatulco is a new resort area and is set to become one of Mexico's
key beach attractions for people in search of a well preserved natural surroundings and eco-centers coupled with highly appointed
accommodation and good facilities to retire to in the evening.
In Huatulco,
the resorts are not a high rise commercial cousin to Cancun. Instead, space has left between building projects and areas for development are being carefully selected
to minimize the impact on the environment, for example, hotels and other buildings cannot exceed six stories in height.
There are nine bays in total,
although today Huatulco is divided into 3 distinct areas: Crucecita, Santa
Cruz and Tangolunda. Eventually, around 5 or 6 of the bays
will be developed; some of the bays are unsuitable for development as the shoreline is too rugged and the undertows too strong
along some beaches. Tangolunda Bay is the best developed to date; it has established
resorts and a high quality 18-hole golf course.
A vacation in Huatulco will
revolve around relaxation, eco-tourism and a few of the less taxing water sports like snorkeling and localized
sailing. Limited night life is available, but its nowhere near as prominent as it is at other more popular resorts.
Huatulco is the place you
come to relax, unwind and start to recover from the stresses of everyday life. This is
not the place to stay if you're on a tight budget, but neither will it cost as much as the exclusive resorts further up the
Pacific coast.
Come to Huatulco with the things you want to leave behind ~ you'll
leave here feeling refreashed and revived!
