La Biblioteca de San Agustinillo San Agustinillo, Oaxaca

La Biblioteca de San Agustinillo.   "Las cuatro amigas", with the help of the town of San Agustinillo, have opened a library in the picturesque village on the Oaxacan coast. The library is located near the center of town in the Casa Municipal on highway 200.
The library is free for all local residents and available to tourists. We are funded by donations so we ask tourists to "rent" their books. It's a charge of one peso per day. The library is stocked with almost 4000 books. Some 2000 are in Spanish, 1500 in English, and 500 are mostly French and German but include Hebrew, Danish, Swedish, Italian and Japanese. (8/04)
In addition to loaning books the library is also a center for the children of San Agustinillo. A class in English and a pen pal program with schoolchildren in Chicago are two of the activities por los niños de San Agustinillo.
We invite all those visiting the area to stop in, rent reading material or donate their finished books to La Biblioteca de San Agustinillo. We are especially in need of Spanish language books and, of course, cash donations are greatly appreciated and sorely needed.
Presently the library is open afternoons from 2 pm to 6 pm and closed on Sundays.

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 ( 958/584-3063, 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.

It is a small  town surviving on farming  and small-scale fishing. The people of San  Agustinillo lived from the hunting  and exploitation of turtles for many  years, as it was the site of the turtle  raster. The Federal Government  prohibited the hunting of turtles in 1990. This town has a beach approximately  4,265 feet (1,300 metres) long, that has  been divide in three areas. The  first is surrounding by protective rocks,  and its gentle waves make it a great  place to swim. The second has stronger  waves, and is on the west side  of the beach. Local residents are always  eager to offer visitors exciting boat rides through the area. Location • San Pedro Pochutla: Is located 150  miles (242 kilometres) South of the City  of Oaxaca via highway 175 to Puerto  Angel. Approximate travel time: [5:00] San Agustinillo is almost 15 miles  (24 kilometres) from San Pedro Pochutla.  Drive on Federal Highway 200, in the  direction of Puerto Escondido, until reaching  the town of San Antonio.

It is approximately 3,281 feet  (one kilometre) long and 164 feet  (50 metres) wide. The golden,  medium-grained sand is gently  inclined and the greenish-blue water  is warm. There is a restaurant  and cabins for rent as well. Location Approximately 30 steps south from the town.

San Agustinillo Overview

Four kilometers from Zipolite, the small town of San Agustinillo offers uncrowded beaches and swimable waves—just keep some distance from the rocks. A few restaurants, convenience stores, and bungalows round out the town. To take on the waves, rent some body boards, fins, or surfboards from Mexico Lindo y Que Rico (50 pesos per hr., boogie boards 30 pesos), on the western edge of town. Many beginners start here before braving the bigger waves at Zipolite. Mexico Lindo offers one-on-one lessons (350 pesos for 2hr.).

San Agustinillo is accessible via a Mazunte camioneta from Zipolite (every 20min. 6am-7pm, 5 pesos), or any Zipolite-bound camioneta from Pochutla. Find internet access at Malex, near the eastern edge of town. (12 pesos per hr. Open M-Sa 8:30am-9pm, Su 9am-8pm.)

Mexico Lindo also has some of the best rooms on the beach. New and clean with fans, private baths, and double beds, this is a great place to rest your head. (Singles and doubles 300 pesos, with ocean view 400 pesos. Cash only.) Across the street and up a hill, the cabañas at Villas Antrópolis don’t come cheap, but include private kitchens, decks, and beautiful views of the water below. Best for longer stays. (2-person cabañas 500-550 pesos; prices nearly double in high season. Also rentable by the month for significant discounts. Cash only.) For a cheaper stay on the other end of the beach, go to Casa de Huéspedes Kaly , which has extraordinarily well-kept, quiet rooms with big fans, comfortable beds with mosquito nets, and spotless baths. (No hot water. Singles 200 pesos; doubles 250 pesos. Cash only.) The adjacent restaurant for some ice cream or a beer (both 15 pesos). There are also simple breakfasts like fruit salad or yogurt with granola for 12-40 pesos. (Open daily 8:30am-1pm, 4-10pm. Cash only.)

San Agustinillo - A beautiful beach, good swimming, surfing and diving

<="" td="" style="border: 8px ridge rgb(155, 205, 255); "> <="" td="" style="border: 8px ridge rgb(0, 0, 197); ">

The pretty little village of San Agustinillo just about 9 km from Puerto Angel can be reached by heading in a westward direction after passing Zipolite. (map) For information on public transport: (see Transportation) The village lies on a long beach parallel to an open sea with such an unpredictable surf that on some days you will find it very suitable for surfing but on others, just right for swimming and snorkeling. In both phases and where safety is concerned, its waters are far more recommendable than Zipolite as here there is no undertow. Surf and boogie boards can be obtained at Mexico Lindo. All along the beach you will come across many little restaurants providing deckchairs to unwind under the shelter of coconut trees and at the far end a beautiful bay invites those that discover it to drop by for at least a second time.

Yet it remains to be mentioned that behind the beauty of this place another tale must be exposed that is all but wonderful. For many years a factory on the town's edge was responsible for the slaughtering of up to 1000 turtles a day using their skin to produce leather. Thankfully in 1990 the factory was finally brought to a stand still and their extermination forbidden by the government. In 1994 a museum Centro Mexicano de la Tortuga was founded and constructed just a kilometre away in Mazunte. Today in a place once haunted through its painful past the joyful sound of children's laughter fill the air as a primary school now takes its place on the grounds of where the factory once stood.

Playas San Agustinillo and Mazunte

About a mile west of Zipolite, a wide, mile-long, yellow-sand beach curves past the village of San Agustinillo. On the open ocean but partly sheltered by offshore rocks, its surf is much like that of Zipolite, varying from gentle in the morning to rough in the afternoon, depending mostly upon wind and offshore swells.

Small village groceries and beachside palaparestaurants supply food and drinks to the occasionalZipolite overflow and local families on weekends and holidays. Fishing is excellent, either in the surf from nearby rocks, by rented panga, or your own boat launched from the beach. Beach camping is customary, especially in front of beachfront restaurants, and at a few rustic, hammock-hung roadside ramadas, such as El Paraiso, at the east (Zipolite) end of the beach.

Remnants of the local turtle industry can be found at the rusting former processing factories on Playa San Agustinillo (west end) and Playa Mazunte two miles farther west.

The half-mile-long, yellow-sand Mazunte Beach, like San Agustinillo, is semisheltered and varies from tranquil to rough. Fishing is likewise good, beach camping is customary (as a courtesy, ask nearby business owners if it’s okay), and local stores and seafood palapa restaurants sell basic supplies and food.

San Agustinillo and Mazunte people, including a group of European (mostly Italian) resident-entrepreneurs, have been renovating their houses and building cabañas to accommodate an increasing number of visitors. Signs along the road and at the beach advertise their lodgings and restaurants.
