La Punta is the most popular spot for backpackers in Puerto Escondido. It is located on the south side of Zicatela beach and is flooded with cafes, cars, restaurants and hostels. It is also one of the best spots to surf as a beginner in Puerto Escondido. Here is my guide for those looking to visit and/or stay in La Punta.

I consumed so many of your videos while I couldn’t travel and you single handedly influenced me to travel to Mexico for the first time in 2022. I’ll be visiting for the third time this summer. I’m obsessed 😅 so thank you!

Awesome video, so entertaining! I have been learning to surf in Hawaii so this video reminded me of my experience too! I will have to make some travel videos about surfing in Oaxaca too! How long do you plan to stay in Oaxaca for? Is it a great place to stay for a long time?

It's been a while since I looked, and WOW! You're at 136,000 subscribers! I am so proud of you. I look forward to your videos every week. I hope one day I can travel as much as you have. I am currently working on figuring out how I could work remotely doing jobs on the road and at least travel the US. But I hope to expand that and backpack as much as possible. You're an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your journey. I just started my channel. It's a weird eclectic group of videos while I find my direction at the moment, but I would love if people stopped by and had a look. Thank you so much for any time you spend there. I hope it provides a good laugh. I like to think that is my purpose. Much love!

@piper3816 2 года назад

2 years ago I stayed in an airbnb about a block and a half from the beach, and about 3 blocks north from central punta. Great little place with 3 beds, 2 loos, and 2 showers. I think I paid 65 CAD, so about 975 pesos per night. I found renting scooters and exploring was a good way to see the place, and as you know, there's lots to see!

@MillaExplores 3 года назад

La Punta seems like a fun place! Puerto Escondido is definitely on my list. And oh the tacos!! I love tacos and would probably eat them everyday 😂 Hopefully the world opens up soon so we can travel normally again. Lovely video as usual! 😍

@NomadShifu 3 года назад

The Point or La Punta refers to the southernmost section of Playa Zicatela and the point of land at the southern end of the beach. Although the northern end of Playa Zicatela is more developed and more popular with tourists, The Point beach area is favored by surfers.

Just a note. Wear a mask if you go it Oaxaca, respect the community. Lots of travelers coming here seem to think it's fine to walk around without... it's a bad look, we wish they would stay away.

@andyandagnieszka 3 года назад

hey, this place is pretty and all and my girlfriend and I love your videos but this series is very irresponsible. have your seen the recent covid death rates? Mexico is in a very bad place - and you can see why; everything is open, no masks, no social distancing. Mexico isn't magically free of the this illness and is at breaking point medically. promoting Mexico as this wonderful travel destination right now will put young maybe people at risk. you can't ignore the data.

@Backpacking Bananas Would you recommend backpacking in Oaxaca or near Cancun / Tulum? Me and hubby are unsure because everyone goes to Tulum and Cancun it seems? Which region did you like more and which was more "real mexico"? Also, if we go for 3 to 4 weeks, is it worth it to visit La Punta and Tulum?

@BackpackingBananas 3 года назад

Oaxaca is hands down my favourite for all of the above reasons! You could easily spend a month just there, but it would also be possible to explore both if you wanted to cover more ground 😊

Coming into summer if you are there the surf is going to get huge! Surfers from all over the world come here. It’s one of the best waves on the planet. The place I nearly drowned! Take videos!
