Huatulco Life was inspired by people with a passion for Huatulco and the Mexican lifestyle. It is a place to find out more information about the region and enjoy the beauty of the Oaxacan coastline through the photo gallery. From time to time, other interesting tidbits about Mexico make their way into the pages of this blog. Enjoy!

Beautiful Beaches of Huatulco - Playa Riscalillo


This beautiful beach can only be reached by boat so if you are heading there, bring your cooler full of goodies!

It's a pleasant boat ride from the marina in Santa Cruz, and you will pass by numerous other isolated and deserted beaches on your way to Playa Riscalillo.  It's a quaint beach in a beautiful little bay with turquoise blue waters and pleasant snorkelling.  There is a significant protected reef area that has been roped off to protect it from some of the boats that frequent this bay.

At times, you may be the only one on this beach but, depending on the day you may encounter a few larger boats that bring tourists here for a couple of hours to experience this paradise.

None the less, Playa Riscalillo is a beautiful beach and should be on your list of beautiful beaches of Huatulco.
