Bay of Cacaluta Bahia is located southwest of Santa Cruz Bay. This is an important water source for protected area Bahias de Huatulco National Park. The beaches at this bay include Cacaluta, which has deep warm waters and big waves, making it ideal for surfing and windsurfing; and Arroyo, which doesn’t get many visitors because it has coarse sand with shards of coral.
This bay area, which has calm clear waters and lowland jungle vegetation, is the natural habitat of various bird species, including seagulls, heron and quail. In the bay’s waters you can see various fish species, such as marlin, sailfish and tuna. As for mammals, you’ll see badgers, armadillos, raccoons, wild boar, deer, iguanas, turtles and many other species.
The best way to get Cacaluta bay from Santa Cruz which is southeast is by boat. This route has large waves, though the bay is protected by an island named Cacaluta. There are no formal tourist services, but its unspoiled beauty and tranquility make it a very special place.
