Huatulco is a tourist destination in Mexico. It is located in the southern part of the state of Oaxaca. Huatulco features different bays. Many luxury resorts lie on the shores of Tangolunda's bay. Camino Real, Gala and Barceló are examples of the most common resorts in the area.
Hautulco has 9 bays with more than 30 beaches. With the help of local guides or Dive Safari, a local diving business, one can explore in relative privacy the beaches and bays and snorkel or dive and see amazing fish and coral.
In addition to the beaches, one can explore and shop in small communities such as Santa Cruz, La Crucecita, Huatulco (the tourist zone), and old Santa Maria Huatuclo (the district municipality). When doing so, you are able to move between the communities, either on foot or using taxis. Women should use caution when walking at night and ask local women for the safer streets. The entire area has a "small town" feel about it and is almost never crowded with tourists.
