Playa Zicatela
Puerto Escondido, MexicoAbout Playa Zicatela
The long beach whose powerful break, nicknamed the 'Mexican Pipeline', draws big-wave surfers from around the world. The currents are dangerous for swimming, so enjoy it from the sand or a beachfront café; beginners learn at calmer Playa Carrizalillo nearby. The strip behind the beach is lined with hostels, bars and restaurants.
