A trio of tiny coves just east of Puerto Ángel beside a coral reef, the area's best spot for snorkeling, scuba and recreational fishing.
Practical
Position is the OpenStreetMap outline of Playa Estacahuite (way 219466274), about 1 km east of the Puerto Ángel pier. Wikipedia (spelled Ixtacahuite) calls it the best beach for scuba and fishing because of the adjoining reef, with an offshore reef about 50-100 m from shore in 15-20 m. Reach by dinghy from the Puerto Ángel anchorage in calm conditions or by a short walk/taxi; land only if there is no surf.
