Workation in Puerto Escondido: the essentials
Before the 1930s there was nothing here but a bay used now and then to ship coffee, since there was no drinking water for a settlement. Puerto Escondido has since become the surf town of the Oaxaca coast, and Zicatela beach, with its heavy break and international competitions, is the reason. Surfers, backpackers and Mexican families make up the crowd, a rougher and more casual one than in nearby Huatulco. Zicatela's waves are for experts only and swimmers should stay out, but other beaches have gentler water, and the lagoon to the west is good for birdwatching and fishing. The small airport is about 4 km from town, and there are a few coworking spaces.
Accommodation & Coliving
OpenStreetMap lists no coworking spaces nearby, but in practice the town has several small spaces and cafe work spots, mainly in the Zicatela and La Punta beach areas. Day passes typically run 10-15 EUR, monthly access around 100-160 EUR. Occasional power and internet outages make a mobile data backup advisable.
