Activities & Things to Do

Olive Ridley Turtle Nesting

From June to December, olive ridley sea turtles nest on San Agustinillo's beaches. Local guides lead dawn walks to witness this remarkable natural event.

Surfing & Surf Lessons

Smaller, more manageable waves than nearby Zipolite make San Agustinillo a great spot for intermediate surfers and first-timers taking lessons.

The beach sits over a coral reef with good visibility and a variety of tropical fish. Snorkel gear available to rent directly on the beach.

Punta Cometa Hike

A short drive or walk to the dramatic cliffside trail that leads to Mexico's southernmost Pacific point, shared between San Agustinillo and Mazunte.
