San Agustinillo
Rounding the headland north of Zipolite you come to SAN AGUSTINILLO, another fine beach graced with good surfing waves. It has a more restrained vibe than Zipolite, with some charming places to stay and eat. The sand is backed by restaurants, which offer space for a hammock or small rooms for rent in addition to reasonably priced, fresh seafood. Sueno (Price: M$350-500) has six tasteful, breezy cabañas with private bath at the east end of the beach. Away from the beach in the centre of town, the Paraíso del Pescador (Price: M$350-500) offers more modern comforts, including a/c, hot water, fans and a restaurant. Cheaper options include Palapas Olas Altas, and Palapa Lupita, which have simple, rather scruffy, cabañas (Price: M$150-200) and hammocks, right next to the beach. Posada Dona Sol, across the street, has rooms with bath and fan (Price: M$150-200). The grand and slightly bizarre Posada San Agustinillo, set in impressive grounds at the east end of the village, looks as if it has had better days, but offers reasonable rooms looking out to sea, with balcony space (Price: M$200-250). Your best bet among the high-end accommodation is Rancho Cerro Largo (

ranchocerrolargomx@yahoo.com; Price: M$750-1100) – perched on the ridge between Zipolite (3km away) and San Agustinillo, it has spectacular views of the Pacific. The restaurant here is considered the best in the area, and the price of a double includes breakfast and dinner. Catch any Mazunte-bound camioneta from Zipolite to get here.
