According to the 'security guys' no camping allowed in this area. They sent us to Playa Delfin nobody bothered us there.

We came in the afternoon and stayed there with 3 other campers. Unfortunately no turtle release at that evening we were there. Next morning at 6:30 a.m. we got woken up by knocking on our door and we were asked to leave the place before 8 o‘clock. According to the local man, who was really polite, the area is now private and the owner does not accept overnight camping anymore.

There's nice 'parking' spot near the turtle sanctuary. All by ourselves except for the hours around the turtle release. You can see turtles laying eggs on the beach if you're lucky. Bring a flashlight with a red filter to not disturb them. We didn't see turtles, but did find a baby crocodile!

This place is in wrong location - it is located at 15.89880, -97.14482

What was probably meant is the turtle camp a bit more to the West. Hatched baby turtles are set free by tourists who pay MXN 150 each. OK to camp here.

(The waypoint used to be where there are beach houses being built now. There is an additional site East from here, beyond the private parcels.)

Safe and free! People around during sunset and for turtle release. Stood two nights. No Facilities. Good cell reception. Safe slept with windows wide open. Fair amount of bugs around. Not really for swimming.

Great free spot for the night after releasing the turtles. Very quiet and great view.

Beautiful place right in front of the ocean. We spent 3 nights and most of the time it was just us and sometimes some locals or tourists who come in the afternoon to release the baby turtles. We saw whales and manta rays jumping. And, you can see the sunrise and the sunset. It was such a pleasure to sleep with the breeze and the sound of the waves.

We spent a couple of nights here at the beginning of covid pandemia. Very quiet place, only locals coming and going.

Stayed here in front of the turtle hatchery. Beautiful beach. Not a soul in sight during the day. A few locals fishing at sunset. Loved it!

Didn’t see a restaurant. Definitely starting to build some sort of hotel.

Enjoy this beach all to yourself 🌞

Beautiful spot on the beach. There is also a small restaurant starting up although they didn’t cook when we were there. Relaxing under the palapa and having the beach to ourselves was really great. Definitely recommend. You don’t need 4x4 just stay on the harder sand. We left because we needed a bathroom and more groceries.

We didn’t go all the way to the GPS coordinates. We parked at the first entrance to the beach (turtle hatchery). It is more exposed but we didn’t want to risk getting stuck.

We drove down the next morning and found it would have been no problem, and was very nice with the palapas and palms.

Locals said it was very safe and tranquil, and they were right!

Also heard that condos or hotels will be built in this area ...but by the looks of it, it will be a while.

Nice beach frequented by locals on weekends, we camped by the two small huts where a group of young people were hanging out until late, they were quiet and friendly. If you are into surfing, waves are all over the place and not good for that.

Great spot for us!! Hardly any bugs and a long beautiful beach. The locals were out fishing and sunbathing until the sun went down. 4 wheelers running up and down the beach all night long, but never bothered us.

Good free spot.
Some locals by day and nobody at night. Very calm !
Unfortunately some plastic bottles too...
The gps point is not very accurate, so continue 200m further.

as described below. Very cool beach and lagoon. we got into the lagoon to take a fresh water dip and saw a few locals walking in it to fish. An american went to the beach and told us to be careful with crocodiles. didnt see them, who knows, so thats a thing, maybe. a local told us owners of that property will start construction of hotels, condos, and housing soon. cant confirm.
very relaxed though and away from the riff raff. don't get off the the road though not even a foot unless you have 4x4. we got stuck for a day and a half but made the best of it.
Price: Free

About 8mi north of Puerto Escondido. There are no signs but using Maps.me or Google Maps, you'll turn off Hwy 200 at Las Tres Palmas then follow the dirt road (good condition for all vehicles) to the coast. You can park an RV or campervan along the access road behind the low vegetated sand dunes (~600 ft from the ocean). We arrived just before sunset and drove our 4Runner across the sandy patches of the dunes to tent camp closer to the beach. It's a long, beautiful beach with no hotels, restaurants, or any structures nearby. There were only a few locals playing in the waves but they left after sunset. Awesome.
