Puerto Escondido

Puerto Escondido is a town in Oaxaca on the Oaxaca-Pacific coastline, with around 30,000 inhabitants. It's known for its big waves and excellent surfing conditions. "Escondido" means "hidden", but in a well-connected world that's no longer true. Once considered a well-kept secret, "Puerto" has grown into a sometimes-awkward mix of small industrial city, beach destination, backpacker party mecca, and French expat community.
