While most travelers flock to the surfer haven of Zicatela or the bohemian vibe of La Punta, those seeking tranquility discover Bacocho\u2014Puerto Escondido’s upscale yet understated neighborhood. This family-friendly enclave offers pristine beaches, stunning sunsets, and proximity to all major attractions without the crowds. Whether you’re planning an extended family vacation, a romantic escape, or a peaceful digital nomad retreat, Bacocho delivers the perfect blend of serenity and accessibility that makes Puerto Escondido special.<\/p>\n

\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 elegir Bacocho para tu estancia en Puerto Escondido?<\/h2>\n

Bacocho stands as Puerto Escondido’s oldest planned subdivision, developed in the 1970s when the federal government designated the area for international tourism. Today, this established neighborhood maintains well-paved streets, reliable utilities, and a residential atmosphere that contrasts sharply with the bustling beach zones elsewhere in town. Located just 4 kilometers west of downtown and 10 minutes from Puerto Escondido International Airport, Bacocho occupies prime real estate along one of the coast’s most beautiful stretches.<\/p>\n

The neighborhood attracts discerning travelers who appreciate peace without isolation. Unlike properties in Centro or Zicatela where street noise and party culture dominate, Bacocho offers quiet evenings, spacious properties with private pools, and a genuine residential feel. Many lots still feature lush gardens where birds fill the morning air with song\u2014a rarity in increasingly developed beach towns. According to KAYAK’s vacation rental data<\/a>, properties in Bacocho command premium rates averaging $422 per night, reflecting the area’s desirability and upscale amenities.<\/p>\n

Ideal para familias y grupos<\/h3>\n

Bacocho excels as a family destination. The neighborhood’s calm streets allow children to play safely, while nearby private schools serve both local and expatriate families. Properties here typically offer more square footage than comparable rentals in Zicatela or La Punta, with full kitchens that help families save significantly on dining costs. Beach clubs provide safe swimming pools for young children\u2014a crucial amenity since Playa Bacocho’s powerful surf makes ocean swimming dangerous for inexperienced swimmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Playa Bacocho: belleza sin multitudes<\/h2>\n

Playa Bacocho stretches for kilometers along the coast, creating one of Puerto Escondido’s longest and most photogenic beaches. White sand meets turquoise waters beneath towering palms, with virtually no development marring the natural beauty. The beach remains remarkably uncrowded even during high season\u2014you can walk for 20 minutes in either direction and encounter only a handful of other beachgoers.<\/p>\n

The powerful Pacific surf that crashes here attracts advanced surfers seeking less crowded waves than the famous Mexican Pipeline at Zicatela, though the shore break makes it challenging even for experienced riders. Most visitors come for long romantic walks, spectacular sunsets that paint the sky in brilliant oranges and pinks, and the daily baby turtle releases that have become one of Puerto Escondido’s signature experiences.<\/p>\n

El Programa de Conservaci\u00f3n de Tortugas Marinas Vive Mar<\/h3>\n

Every evening at 5:00 PM, Vive Mar Sanctuary<\/a> conducts turtle releases on Playa Bacocho. This nonprofit conservation initiative collects endangered sea turtle eggs from along the coast, incubates them safely, and releases hatchlings when they’re ready for their ocean journey. For 150 pesos (approximately $8 USD), visitors receive a baby turtle in a coconut shell, carry it to the shoreline, and watch as it makes its first swim into the Pacific.<\/p>\n

Staff explain the threats these turtles face and the sanctuary’s vital conservation work. The experience creates an emotional connection with marine conservation while supporting crucial environmental efforts. Arrive by 4:00 PM to secure your spot, as the sanctuary releases whatever turtles hatched that day\u2014sometimes there aren’t enough for all interested participants.<\/p>\n

Clubes de playa: servicios de resort sin precios de resort<\/h2>\n

Bacocho hosts two excellent beach clubs that provide resort-style amenities at reasonable day-pass rates. Both offer pools, restaurants, bars, and beach access\u2014perfect solutions since swimming in Bacocho’s powerful surf proves dangerous for most visitors.<\/p>\n

Club Bacocho (antes Villa Sol)<\/h3>\n

Este club de playa recientemente ampliado cuenta con dos grandes piscinas, incluida una zona poco profunda ideal para familias, un bar en la piscina, canchas de tenis y p\u00e1del, y amplios jardines con imponentes palmeras. Las instalaciones est\u00e1n abiertas todos los d\u00edas de 10:00 a 19:00. A finales de 2025, los pases diarios cuestan 1600 pesos por persona, de los cuales 700 pesos se pueden utilizar para comida y bebida en el restaurante Pez Gallo, situado frente al mar, que sirve un excelente desayuno y marisco fresco.<\/p>\n

Los hu\u00e9spedes del Hotel Suites Villasol disfrutan de acceso gratuito, mientras que los visitantes de un d\u00eda consideran que la tarifa vale la pena para disfrutar de un d\u00eda completo en la playa. Todos los mi\u00e9rcoles, de diciembre a abril, el club organiza noches de cine al aire libre gratuitas en la playa a las 7:00 p. m. Combine esto con la liberaci\u00f3n de tortugas a las 5:00 p. m. para disfrutar de una velada inolvidable.<\/p>\n

Coco’s Club de Playa<\/h3>\n

Adjacent to Posada Real, Puerto Escondido’s only all-inclusive resort, Coco’s operates as an all-inclusive day pass facility. For 1,600 pesos per person (1,100 for children 6 and up), guests receive unlimited food, drinks, and snacks plus full access to pools, beach facilities, and even a lazy river. The club opens from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, making it ideal for families who want predictable costs and unlimited refreshments throughout the day.<\/p>\n

D\u00f3nde comer y qu\u00e9 hacer<\/h2>\n

While Bacocho itself maintains a primarily residential character, nearby Rinconada Street (Boulevard Benito Ju\u00e1rez) offers diverse dining and shopping just 15 minutes’ walk away. The neighborhood’s proximity to all of Puerto Escondido’s attractions means you’re never far from excellent restaurants, vibrant markets, or adventure activities.<\/p>\n

Restaurantes cercanos<\/h3>\n

La Julia, ubicada en la intersecci\u00f3n de Tehuantepec, Pochutla y Tlaxiaco, en Bacocho, sirve desayunos y almuerzos tradicionales oaxaque\u00f1os de 7:00 a. m. a 8:00 p. m. (cerrado los martes). Para una cena m\u00e1s elegante, El Rinc\u00f3n de Los Almendros, en la curva del bulevar Benito Ju\u00e1rez hacia Bacocho, se especializa en filetes perfectamente asados y una impresionante parrillada con carne de res, pollo, codorniz, costillas de cerdo y chistorra con todos los acompa\u00f1amientos tradicionales.<\/p>\n

F\u00e1cil acceso a todas las playas<\/h3>\n

Bacocho’s central west-side location provides convenient access to Puerto Escondido’s diverse beaches. Playa Coral lies just 5 minutes’ walk south over some large boulders\u2014this protected cove offers calmer waters suitable for swimming. Carrizalillo Beach, with its stunning cliff-surrounded bay and crystal-clear snorkeling, sits just 5 minutes away by car or 15 minutes on foot. The famous surf breaks of Zicatela require only a 10-minute drive, while family-friendly Puerto Angelito and Playa Principal downtown are equally accessible.<\/p>\n

Opciones de hospedaje en Bacocho<\/h2>\n

Bacocho’s vacation rental inventory skews toward spacious homes and upscale villas rather than budget hostels or basic apartments. Properties typically feature private pools, multiple bedrooms, full kitchens, and outdoor living areas\u2014perfect for families or groups splitting costs. Many rentals offer ocean or mountain views from elevated positions along the hillside.<\/p>\n
