San Agustinillo


San Agustinillo

About a 15-minute drive west of Viewpoint down the 
Oaxaca coast is Playa 
San Agustinillo.  This 1300 meter long beach is divided 
into 3 sections by 
rocky jut-outs that reach into the ocean.  The far west 
end of the beach is 
called Playa Rinconcillo, a well-sheltered area that is 
great for swimming.  
This area is where 
most of the fishermen offer boat and sportfishing tours.  The easternmost section is 
called Playa Aragon 
which has strong waves and undertow.  From June to December it is possible
 to see Olive Ridley turtles laying their eggs on the beaches of San Agustinillo. 
All along the shoreline you can find great little rustic establishments with ecologic and 
European flair 
as many Italians and French own here.      
Mexico Lindo Restaurant

A great place to set up for a relaxing beach day is Mexico Lindo 
restaurant, located on the far west 
end of San Agustinillo.  You can rent boogieboards and surfboards here and even take
 some surf 
lessons.  Sip on cold cervezas and relax under a palapa or take a siesta in a restaurant
 hammock. 
 Here you can enjoy pizza, fresh seafood and other regional favorites, including the 
delicious shrimp
 tacos – a must try.
El Pelicano is another great Oceanside restaurant in San Agustinillo, serving amazing 
fresh seafood 
and authentic Mexican fare.  The chili rellenos are a must try with some of the 
best sangria in Mexico.  
Listen to the waves roll in while you enjoy the delicious food here.

Enjoy wood-fire oven baked pizza at La Termita.
If you are in the mood for great pizza, look no further 
than La Termita, 
owned by an Italian-Argentinian.  Located on the main
 road in San 
Agustinillo, this place can’t be beat for amazing wood 
oven pizza and 
calzone.  Enjoy your meal on the beach or in the 
restaurant while you 
watch the chef whip up your favorite slice of pie – yum!
If you are in the mood for some adventure, check out Ola Verde 
Expediciones, a company specializing in rafting, kayaking, coffee plantation 
tours and other custom trips. 
Whether it’s relaxing under a palapa on the beach, boogie boarding in the 
waves or enjoying some 
delicious authentic Mexico or Itailan cuisine, you can find it all at Playa San 
Agustinillo.
