Snorkeling
Huatulco has one of the largest coral deposits on North America's west coast.Very good snorkeling is at La Entrega beach, but almost everywhere along the coast you will find coral reefs and rich marine life to give you an unforgettable snorkeling experience. San Augustin, Chahue and Maguey bays are particularly good.

Scuba Diving

Cacaluta Bay and La Montosa Reefs, El Tigre and the sunken ship at El Bufadero are excellent spots for diving.

Deep Sea Fishing

Yellowfin tuna and big mahi-mahi (dorado, bull-dolphin) season is from the end of November until March. Then, until the end of May, the fishing is slower, but still good. You can catch mahi-mahi,wahoo, and smaller yellowfin tuna.

Sailfish season starts in June and peaks in July and August. July is also good for blue marlin that you can catch just about 5 miles from shore.

Sailing

Harness the wind and sail the sea on the 44-foot sailboat, Luna Azul. It will take you to some of the quiet, scenic bays which are not accessible by car, and you can swim, fish, or just lay out in the sun. Snorkeling equipment is also available if you want to view some of the beautiful coral that thrives in the area.

 

Golf

The resort has a golf club (Campo de Golf Tangolunda) open to public, which is located within 5-7 minutes walk from the condo. This championship category golf course has the reputation of being one of the best public courses in Mexico. It has a tropical setting,and the oceanfront course is designed by F.M. Schjetnan in 1991. Club rental and a grass driving range is available. The course offers you both challenge and beauty. You can enjoy a panoramic view of Tangolunda Bay.
