Mazunte Oaxaca State, Mexico Travel Guide
Lightweight, breathable fabrics are useful year-round. Cotton, linen, and moisture-wicking synthetics help manage heat and humidity, and they dry quickly.
Mazunte is a relaxed beach town, so casual attire is generally acceptable. On beaches and in main tourist areas, Swimwear and casual clothing are common.
Sandals or flip-flops are useful for beach and everyday wear around town. Mazunte's laid-back vibe means open footwear is the norm.
Comfortable walking shoes or Sneakers are useful for exploring the town's unpaved roads, walking to Punta Cometa (which can be uneven), or light hikes. Teva Hurricane XLT2 Sandals are a good choice.
Water shoes are useful for rocky beach entries or exploring tide pools, protecting your feet from sharp surfaces.
