Where is the Huatulco cruise port?

Ships dock alongside the single cruise pier in Santa Cruz Bay, so no tender is needed. Playa Santa Cruz, the craft market and the marina are right at the pier head. La Crucecita is a short taxi ride or a hot walk inland, and water taxis to other bays leave from the Santa Cruz marina.

Destination

About Huatulco

Bahias de Huatulco is a string of nine bays and dozens of beaches along Oaxaca's rugged Pacific coast, much of it protected as Huatulco National Park. Low-rise development keeps the area green, with clear water for snorkelling and catamaran tours between coves such as La Entrega and Maguey.

Inland, the small town of La Crucecita has a lively zocalo, a craft market and the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe with its huge ceiling mural. Rafting, coffee-farm visits and Oaxacan food round out a day ashore.

Climate
November in Huatulco is hot and drying out: daytime highs around 33°C and nights near 24°C, with the rainy season ending — monthly rainfall drops from about 28 mm to 5 mm and the chance of a wet day from 8% to 2%.
