Solo Travel TipsΒ· Solo Friendly

Puerto Escondido is Mexico's best surf town and extremely solo-friendly β€” the Zicatela Beach surf community is social and welcoming, the turtle release season (July-December) is a magical solo evening experience, and the town has excellent cheap seafood. Playa Carrizalillo (sheltered bay) is perfect for non-surfers swimming solo. The mezcal bar scene in the town centre is social and relaxed.
