Puerto Escondido → Playa Zicatela: key facts

Playa Zicatela from Puerto Escondido Airport (PXM) by private transfer: €70 per car (1–3 people) or €100 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 6 km, roughly 15 min when traffic is light and 15–25 min when it is not.

Meeting point: The driver waits in the arrivals area of the passenger terminal, after baggage reclaim (and customs for international flights), holding a sign with your name. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.

Zicatela is the long open-ocean beach on the south-eastern side of Puerto Escondido, known among surfers for its heavy beach-break waves, often called the Mexican Pipeline. From the airport the route runs along Federal Highway 200 through town and then turns down towards the coast onto Calle del Morro, the street that runs parallel to the beach. The whole drive is about 6 km and stays on paved town roads.

Calle del Morro is lined with hotels, guesthouses, cafés and surf shops along the length of the beach, and most places to stay are on this street or on the slope above it. The sea here has strong currents and powerful waves, so the beach is mainly used by experienced surfers and for walks. Playa Marinero and Playa Principal are at the northern end, while La Punta, a quieter area with a point break, lies about 2 km to the south at the far end of the beach.

Public transport: No official public transport connection from the airport to Zicatela is published by the airport operator.
