Zicatela Beach, Puerto Escondido
Zicatela Beach in Puerto Escondido is awesome. Dorian surfed the best waves of his entire life here. Unfortunately the pictures I took of the waves were on the smallest day. The waves are very heavy and huge just like pipline in Hawaii.
Dorian quickly fell in love with the hollow barrells he surfed here.I was impressed when he went out with the Pros on the biggest day there while many surfers sat on the beach in amazement. Even Ivy gave it a go.
Many specators come to visit Zicatela just to witness the massive water breaking. This wave is a site to see and surf. The beach down the way (see pictures above) is great for swimming.
The tide pools here are full of fish and beautiful shells and the turquise rolling waves glow in the sunlight.
Pinotepa National
We unfortunately stayed in the city of Pinotepa National at Pepe's hotel. They were kind enough to let Ivy stay in our room. The city wasn't very attractive and again only a one night stop. We later discovered that a beautiful national park lied ahead. We wished we had camped there instead.Our goal was to get to Puerto Escondido (the pipeline of Mexico in surfer terms.) The coastal road was currently not near the coast and we were excited to get to some lusher greener land.
