Santa Cruz Bay is one of the most popular beaches in Huatulco and it shows; the local area has a lot of good amenities designed with tourists in mind including restaurants, bars, and hotels. This beach is very conveniently located near Huatulco's harbor where lots of cruise ships stop off, so it's the first port of call for many tourists in the area.

This means that Santa Cruz Bay can quite busy and crowded, but that busy vibe is compensated by the super soft sands and shallow, shimmer waters that make this beach one of the best swimming and sunbathing spots in Mexico. Map
