small beach west of Playa Cuatonalco comes into view

To reach this beach by land, follow the dirt road that intersects the coastal highway (200) at the Rio Coyula bridge 4 miles west of the Huatulco airport. The beach faces directly onto the ocean so can be very dangerous for swimmers. The beach is about 1000 feet long and is composed of fine white sand.
