Municipio de Catemaco, Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, Mexico

Catemaco Coast
The coast of Catemaco extends 18 km (11 miles) from near Playa Escondida to El Carrizal. The  
stretch between La Barra and El Carrizal is only accessible by boat or ferry.




La Barrra at the confluence of the Gulf and the Laguna is the most visited beach. Playa Escondida
ranks as the most visually beautiful beach, despite a death defying series of steps to access it..
Playa Jicacal, off the same road leading to Playa Escondida, is my personal favorite.

All beaches are surfable. None offer life guards, and rip currents are common
