Discover Salina Cruz

Salina Cruz is a port city in southeast Mexico, located in the state of Oaxaca, just a few hours south of Huatulco and Puerto Escondido.

Once a traditional fishing port with various cooperatives, Salina Cruz has become the most important industrial center in Oaxaca. In recent years, it has also gained international recognition for its world-class waves.

The nearest airport is located 2 hours away in the beautiful city of Huatulco. Between Salina Cruz and Huatulco, there are around 17 surf spots.

The area is also well-known for its excellent fishing and diving due to crystal-clear waters and abundant marine life, including tuna, mahi mahi, turtles, and dolphins.

During surf season, expect hot and humid weather, with air temperatures in the low 90s °F (around 32 °C) and water temperatures that are just right for surfing.
