The nightlife
Sunset drinks on the beach, dinner, then an early bedtime. (Surfers need their rest.) A guy from Toronto runs Cinemar, a shop on the beach with a little movie theatre that holds about 12 people. He shows 2 movies every night. Sometimes it's surf-themed movies like "Point Break" and "Blue Crush". However, I saw the recent release "La Vie en Rose."



The assessment
While other Mexican beaches have been OK I also found them to be pretty developed, almost trying too hard for what the gringos would want. To that point, Puerto Escondido is great - not very developed at all. However, it's simply a matter of time before the masses find out about it... Puerto Escondido is my favorite Mexican beach thus far.

Another gratuitous surfer shot.
