Audio Guide of La Entrega Beach

La Entrega Beach is open to the public 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, as it is a public beach. You can easily get there by taxi from anywhere in Huatulco, though shared transport is also available, or you can choose to rent a vehicle. Its proximity to the port is an advantage for those arriving by sea, as it is very close to the Santa Cruz cruise pier.

No, access to La Entrega Beach is completely free, as it is a public beach. However, keep in mind that services such as thatched beach shelters, sun loungers, umbrellas, and snorkel equipment offered by local vendors along the beach do have an additional cost. Bring cash to enjoy all the amenities!

To fully enjoy La Entrega Beach and its activities, such as snorkeling, swimming, and relaxing on the sand, it is recommended to spend at least half a day, around 3 to 4 hours. If you plan to eat at one of the local restaurants and enjoy the atmosphere, you can easily extend your visit to a full day.

La Entrega Beach holds particular historical significance for Mexico. It is said that this was the place where Vicente Guerrero, one of the heroes of Mexican independence, was handed over to his captors in 1831, which ultimately led to his execution. This history gives the beach a sense of solemnity and patriotic meaning.

The best time to visit Huatulco, and therefore La Entrega Beach, is during the dry season, from November to May, when the weather is warmer and sunnier and there is less chance of rain. To avoid crowds, consider visiting early in the morning on weekdays. Snorkeling visibility is excellent during these months.

Accessibility at La Entrega Beach can be challenging for people with reduced mobility. While the restaurant area and the first section of the beach are relatively flat, direct access to the sand and water can be difficult due to loose sand and the lack of adapted ramps. It is always advisable to contact local operators in advance if special assistance is needed.

Very close to La Entrega Beach is Santa Cruz Bay, a tourist hub with the cruise pier, handicraft markets, and more dining options. You can also take a boat excursion from here to explore the other Bays of Huatulco, each with its own charm.

To make the most of your visit, I recommend bringing your own snorkel gear if you have it, since the waters are crystal clear and full of marine life. If not, you can rent it there. Don’t forget biodegradable sunscreen, a beach umbrella, and water to stay hydrated. And of course, enjoy the fresh seafood offered by the beachfront restaurants!
