Living in Santa Cruz, Huatulco: the bay day to day
Beach, marina, restaurant corridor, services and the airport connection.
The bay
Santa Cruz is the liveliest bay in Huatulco: pier, marina, restaurants and calm-water beach, all within a few blocks.
Walk instead of drive
From Sundara the beach is steps away and the restaurant corridor and marina are an easy walk. It is one of the few areas in Huatulco where a car is optional.
Services
Banks, pharmacies, a supermarket, clinics and the crafts market are all inside the neighbourhood radius.
Connection
Huatulco international airport is a short drive away, with direct flights to Mexico City and seasonal routes.
Weather
Sun almost year-round and mild temperatures thanks to the Pacific breeze; the rainy season is short and mostly in the afternoon.
